Roaring Rockets (Amazing Machines)

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 favorite thing about these books is at the end. Once the story is over, the last page has pictures and descriptions of the parts of the rocket but put it in kids terms, easy enough for my 3 yr old to understand. I have purchased 4 out of the 10 in this series and they all do that. The stories are simple and interesting and about everything that little boys love, while teaching them the jobs of the various vehicles and the people who drive them.

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!

I purchased this book along with another toy for my 3-year-old nephews birthday. Although paperback, the book is well made and the story very cute! He loves being read to so I was thankful that these gifts paired together so well! If you're looking for a wonderful present combo for a little boy or girl who loves space/rockets, look no further!

5 year old grandson loves it!

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!

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.

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

Great book

We have almost all of them, our son already recites part of it as its very well written and catchy. We started reading them since he turned 1…amlost 4 and still they are still read almost every day

questo libricino è bellissimo! l'ho regalato ad un bambino di 2 anni e mezzo che ripete la parola razzo razzo con gran passione e capisce tutte le scene contenute in esso. lo consiglio!

Excellent! My sons loves this book and the rest of the books in the set (SIX AMAZING MACHINE BOOKS, EACH WITH STORY CD. (AMAZING AEROPLANES/TERRIFIC TRAINS/FLASHING FIRE ENGINES/TOUGH TRUCKS/TREMENDOUS TRACTORS/DAZZLING DIGGERS/COOL CARS). We read one or two books every night, and the CD's are played on repeat most days. The CD's have great sound effects. They are very informative for both child and adult, so you don't get bored. My sons now knows most of the words to books by heart, and is very pleased with him self as he thinks he is reading. I would recommend this set for all machine mad children/families.

A book of big pictures and a quaint poem! Makes for a lovely read aloud. My son choose it every day for nearly 2 weeks! On a recent trip he chose to tug this along! On reading this book, he decided to become an astronaut!
