Describes the qualities needed to be part of the space program and various aspects of the training that astronaut candidates receive to prepare them for their first flight.
This I would consider a mini chapter book. It is a really easy read a its a great book. It takes you step by step on the training astronauts go through before they go up to space. It also has a glossary in the back for harder words. There a pictures of real life astronauts so it will make the kids more interested in reading the book. So if this would be used in a classroom I would read it during a science class.
