Roaring Rockets (Amazing Machines) (Paperback)
Amazing Machines: Roaring Rockets by Tony Mitton and Ant Parker
Rockets have power. They rise and roar. This rocket's waiting, ready to soar. Rockets carry astronauts with cool, white suits oxygen helmets and gravity boots. Blast off with more out-of-this-world couplets! This time it is machines that fly. In bright and bold illustrations that are as witty as the text, the animal crew roars and whizzes into outer space.
