I received a free ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Very bright and colorful. Cute characters. Lots of information. A great kids book.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. Thank you NetGalley.

my kids and i enjoyed this book. we are huge fans of astronauts/rockets/space in general.

This is an awesome book to get little ones interested in all things space. The illustrations are genius and colourful; drawing the eye towards the unfolding action. Having the characters present the information will allow the reader to disarm and forget they’re learning.
However, for those that love learning, there’s some questions at the end to test your memory.

This artwork is vibrant visually exciting, cute and dynamic. Unfortunately the netgalley file I got had almost all the speech bubbles totally blank, so am unable to speak got the content. But I have very high ropes.

'Clever Cogz: The Book of Space Rockets' by Neil Clark is a picture book for young readers to teach them about rockets and space exploration.

Join Cogz the Robot Dod and his friends to learn about space travel. Starting with rocket designs in the 1960s, the reader will learn about rockets like the Saturn V, how rockets are made, and how rockets have been used. From the lunar landing to robots on Mars and the space station, the book is full of fun, colorful drawings to get readers excited about space.

This book is told from primarily an American viewpoint, but there are a couple nods to other designs. The illustrations are fun. With the upcoming 50th anniversary of the moon landing, this is a well timed book.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Quarto Publishing Group - QEB, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.

The Book of Space Rockets is a colourful and educational book that teaches children about the mechanics of rockets. I loved how colourful the drawings were without being bright and obnoxious. The writing is simple and easy to understand, putting the basics in without going on and on and becoming confusing. The questions at the end were wonderful, as they take a cute little book and turn it into a learning experience.

My sixteen month old son who loves all things that go vroom loved the pictures, this would be a great book for children to grow with.

This little picture book about rockets and spacecraft isn't terrible, but it's overly sanitized and could lead to some uncomfortable questions.

The illustrations are decent and everything's easy to see. The rockets seem a little bit simplified, but for very young children, it's probably all right. The main problems I have come from the book's insistence on mentioning certain topics but not following up with the unpleasant truth. There's Laika, who's touted as the first dog in space. She's cheerily introducing herself to Cogz the dog. What's going to happen when kids find out she was shot into space, got overheated, and died within hours? There's a cheery bedtime story. Then there's the issue of the Space Shuttle program. We're told the shuttles were in use between 1981 and 2011... but there's no mention of why they stopped being used. Challenger and Columbia are ignored. (Now, I'm not saying that this book needs to go into all those grisly details, but curious kids may ask why Space Shuttles stopped being used. This book doesn't provide any answers.)

The layout is a little bit weird, as it doesn't go in chronological order. We learn about the lunar module, then satellites, then the Mars rover, then the ISS, then the Space Shuttle program... It might've worked better if these technologies had been discussed in the order they were developed. Also, it's mentioned that rockets are mostly single-use technology, ignoring recent developments in that area. Kids who are really into rockets are going to want to know why this book doesn't talk about things they may have seen on the news!

I'm also left wondering why the reference to the Canadarm isn't capitalized, but terms like "lunar module" are. Maybe the book needs another round of editing.

So, overall, while this isn't a bad book, it's a little too simplified in certain places (especially for its tech-savvy audience) and glosses over the dangers and failures of our explorations into space. It might be a good place to start, but kids who are really interested in this topic are going to want a lot more information.

Thank you #netgalley for giving me a copy of #TheBookOfSpaceRockets to review. This nonfiction book about space and rockets is great for K-6th grade students. The formatting is perfect for keeping kids interested. There is a lot of information packed into this book, but it's presented in a way that makes it easy to digest. The illustrations and diagrams add to the learning and will help teachers explain text features. I will look into buying this for my library.

I received an arc of this title for an honest review. I loved this informational book about space perfect for young kids. There is a lot of information but it is presented in a fun way with lots of pictures and not as much text.

A pleasant primer for young astronauts of the future, which discusses the parts of space rockets and their engines, before branching off to specific vehicles, from the ISS to the Shuttle and the relevant bits of the Apollo landings' tech and so on. There's very little text, but it and the (low level of) interactivity the characters conveying things bring are fine, and the cartoonish pictures certainly have clarity.

Neat concept, but poorly executed. Some of the wording was off, and the pictures didn't really compliment the text.

Awesome Stem children's book! Loved the interactive structure of the story. great illustrations and informative facts.
