I like the cover of this book because it is cool. This book talks about how does the rocket work, how do we make a water rocket and what the history of the rocket is. There are some rocket examples to let us easier to understand how to make a rocket because some steps are hard to imagine without visual step by step. Although it is now easy to make a rocket after studying, however I shalln’t make one by myself. I do learn more knowledge about rockets from this book.

A great book, filled with valuable information and it has directions to design and try your own rockets. If you have kids in elementary school, this would be a great book to read together and do the experiments. Brings back happy memories of my childhood working on things like this with my Dad.
