The Book of Space Rockets by Neil Clark -- ADVISABLE

The Book of Space Rockets (Clever Cogs) by Neil Clark. NONFICTION PICTURE BOOK. Quarto Publishing, 2019. $15. 9781786036339

BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) -- ADVISABLE

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE

The Book of Space Rockets uses a robot named Cogz and his mouse friends to describe the various rockets, shuttles, satellites, and rovers humans have sent into space. Cogz also explains a bit about the history of space exploration. 

While no actual photos are provided, generous illustrations and an interesting layout add a lot of visual appeal. Both the illustrations and information are aimed at a younger audience to provide a basic knowledge of rockets, which students can then deepen with further reading from more-complex books. A nice, kid-friendly introduction to the subject.
