Roaring Rockets (Amazing Machines)

My grandson loves vehicles so it's a great little book that introduced him to something new.

Great value and next day delivery. 100% satisfied.

This book is so fun to read! My 2 year old is obsessed with rocket ships right now, and this has been so fun to read with her. The art is also super cute and I love that it’s a pretty accurate story.

For the past few months my 2 year old has been obsessed with rockets. He makes rockets out of his food, out of his feet, literally anything. He even loves watching old rocket launches on YouTube. He doesn't have any books about rockets and I found this one on Amazon and it seemed great.It rhymes and its not too long or too short. It keeps his attention span great and I don't get annoyed when he asks me to read it 5 times in a row!

My 3.5 year old and 21 month old both like this book a lot. We got it at the same time as Dazzling Diggers which is ok, but not as good. We read each page of the book and there are opportunities for the parent to add their own stuff in as they go if you use your imagination. The oddly funny part is that both of my boys independently cracked up laughing at one of the pages where the rabbit is floating in zero G space because they thought his legs look funny. Every time we get to that page they both still snicker at it so we make a little joke and move on to the next page. Fun, short story before bed. Oh, and at the end there is a little reference section that talks about items from the book (lunar lander, rocket etc). We wind down the whole bed time routine by reading that and then "The end!"

Interesting and well written

We have a lot of the books in this series now and my son would love to have them all. Unlike other "franchise" type series, each one of these books is as creative and fun as the last... there's not one that my son doesn't like. He's three now and does prefer longer stories, but they're really good filler books that he never turns down, and I really enjoy reading them as the rhymes and images are a lot of fun. There's also a very cool glossary at the end that gives insight into what the parts of the vehicle are and what they do, that might actually be the most fun for my little guy. Really love this entire series, we've had a lot of fun with them!

Your child/grandchild will absolutely LOVE this toy. Our 2 year old grandson has been playing with it constantly since it arrive. It is easy for him to put the rockets on the launcher himself and he loves this. The one thing that we did was use some duct tape to add more support to the legs otherwise it kept folding in on itself. Still a terrific gift that offers so many opportunities to teach about movement with air, trajectory and how to change it, the power of force. And, not to be dismissed lightly, the sheer delighted laughter that accompanies a successful launch. Well done!
