I don't plan on scanning all of the kids books but I wanted to remember this one. Borrowed from the library today and it's wonderful. Perfectly age appropriate for my kids who needed to know how astronauts used the washroom when there are no sewers in space.

Simple but informative book which would be perfect to use alongside teaching around space. Covers all aspects of the journey of an astronaut to space, explaining things in an accessible way for children. Lots of pictures and illustrations to go alongside the facts making the book very engaging.

This informational text teaches how astronauts travel to space. It tells what thy do all day in space. It is full of amazing facts. This book would be useful during a unit in astronomy to build background knowledge about space travel. It is also easy for student’s who are beginning readers.

Synopsis: A non fiction book about astronauts and what they do in space.

My Review: This was a great book for Munchkin, we have been on the hunt to find books about astronauts since that is what he has decided he wants to be when he grows up. This was a very informative book, and a step up from the other book we recently read called Astronauts. This book takes the same information and elaborates on it for more detailed education. Munchkin really enjoyed reading it and often reminds me of some of the things he learned from this book.

This was the first book my daughter bought home when she was allowed to borrow a book from the school library.
What a great book! Full of scientific facts and figures yet presented in a really clear way and readable by even my junior reader. She's 5 1/2 and could read 90% of the book by herself and now can also read shuttle, space station and fuel! We were really inspired by this and went on to do some more research and a "home exercise" on the topic. Very clear.

How do astronauts travel into space? Where do you live when you get there? What do they do all day? Living in space is exciting!

[Jenna · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very informative and easy to understand. The book gives insight on space and how astronauts can get to space. I would use this book to better explain gravity, it gives good examples.

This book 📚 is a best book with many more scientific knowledge that how people live in space 🌜 🌜. I like these points that space shuttle orbits the earth only in 90 minutes and people in space shuttles have toilests, showers, etc. The people in space shuttles exersise every day and sleep in sleeping bags. This book also gives knowledge about the takeoff and landing of space shuttles
