Review Detail

So You Want to be an Astronaut takes a look at what it takes to become an astronaut and exploring space, written by a retired astronaut!

The illustrations are vibrant and done similarly to comic books, my 6 year old however was not a fan of some of the faces, but he did enjoy mimicking the scenes and expressions.

I really like how So You Want to be an Astronaut included tips and lessons that can be applied way before a child becomes a space explorer. These important life skills include teamwork, listening, being organized, and stress management, among many others. The author also offers suggestions about how to acquire these skills is helpful since the tips seem simple to follow and his guidance clear and supportive.

This is a nice book to have on our shelves!
