Description
Publisher's Description of Space Race (Blast Back!)
Get ready to blast back to the past and learn all about the Space Race!
When people think about the Space Race, things like astronauts and the Soviet Union may come to mind. But why was there a race, and who won anyway? This engaging nonfiction book, complete with black and white interior illustrations, will make readers feel like they've traveled back in time. It covers everything from the Cold War to the moon landing, and more. Find out interesting, little-known facts such as how the moon has an unpleasant odor and how a prototype of the ballpoint pen was invented by NASA for astronauts to use in zero-gravity conditions! The unique details along with the clever and humorous interior illustrations make this series stand out from the competition.
Category Description for Blast Back! Series
I read all of the Vikings and Ancient Egypt books in this series! These books are a step up from leveled readers, yet not as dense as chapter books. Cute and simple illustrations on every page add to the text. I didn't love the black line maps because it was hard to tell what was land and what was water, but you could bring out an atlas or wall map and have a better look. The non-fiction content was not too hard, yet introduces lots of new vocabulary. Readers will glean a lot of good historical information. The small format is inviting for small hands; students will be satisfied when they finish and want to read another! Links for further research are in the back. 6.5"x 7", 108 pgs, pb. ~ Sara
