I Want to Be an Astronaut: A Picture Book About NASA Astronauts for Kids (Ages 4-8)

My Son was in Kindergarten, he checked it out from the school library. Every Week he re-checked this book out! He kept this book for several months. We read this book together several times a day, he couldn't get enough of it!! My son is now 25 & Married. I bought this book for him & my future grandchildren. It will be his turn to read this book with his children several times a day! It is a Positive Parental Payback!! The best part is, that one day I can also read this book with my grandchildren! The Illustrations are Large & Vivid. The pictures and the story sparks the imagination of children & adults. Enjoy!

My nearly-two-year-old son and I love all of our Byron Barton books. I especially love this one because of the poignant line, "I just want to be an astronaut." I imagine it said with such deep longing. I may need to get out of the house more. I recently discovered that one of my well-worn childhood favs, "Bullfrog Builds a House," was also a Byron Barton work. What a nice surprise!

Great book. Shipping was very fast and product showed up in perfect condition. I needed this for a lesson plan and was worried about the book showing up late, but the shipment sent out very quickly and I received the item in plenty of time. Have been very happy with the purchase.

This is an oldie but goodie. Illustrations are simple but clear about what is important in the picture. The only problem nowadays is that the space shuttle program is gone. But little kids won't get that and we adults who remember our glory days will enjoy reading the book to the kiddos. Maybe Barton will update the book to ride in Musk's new space capsule?

I bought this book for a preschool unit on Space. My students loved this book. It had great pictures of astronauts eating and working in space. I used it to introduce the jobs of and astronaut. My students loved looking through the pages and re-telling the story.

We are expecting our first grand baby and we read this to our son when he was little. Couldn’t find his copy so thankfully it’s still being printed! Now, we can pass this along!

Bought this for my 5 year old. My 3 year old loves it too. Pictures and story line are simple, clear, and fun. My sons pay attention to the story and get excited about becoming astronauts. We love the simple and clear sentences as well as the clear lettering. Great story for kids.

Bought this book for our 4 year old sons birthday and we love it. Its a very short read, but very cute & colorful. Coming from Florida, I appreciate the pics with the space shuttle flying over the Florida peninsula. Great book for your little one's collection.

最近宇宙や地球、ロケットがお気に入りの息子に買いました！ はっきりした色で気に入っているようです。 文章も一文短いので読みやすいです。

We love it. it says it is for toddlers btw 4 and 6. however, my 15 months old loves looking and pointing at pictures and counting the members crew. i find it very good for learning about space and astronauts, u can even add some text by urself.

A good book for kids to read. Very informative.

I bought this book for my grandson. It is well produced and illustrated. I'm really happy with it.

Lots of good pictures and basic info for 5 yrs and up
