Description

Perfect for kids who have started to read but still need some help, this Level 2 DK Reader explores the fascinating world of an astronaut and what it is like to live in space. With longer sentences, increased vocabulary, information boxes with fun facts, and a simple index, this book shows young readers what it’s like to hold down a job in zero gravity.
What does it take to hold down a job in space? Linda, an astronaut on a space go back and forth, describes the entire ups and downs of her thrilling job in this Level 2 Dorling Kindersley book. It takes numerous preparation and training to take a rocket go back and forth to space. Linda has to pass medical tests, practice moving on a machine that mimics weightless space, and discover ways to repair a telescope underwater (which is a bit like being in space). Once the go back and forth lifts off, Linda floats around in zero gravity, eats food contained in sealed packets so it doesn’t waft away, exercises on special machines, and dons a jet-propelled backpack that enables her to walk out in space and repair the broken telescope.

Dorling Kindersley’s remarkably vivid photographs and illustrations and compelling text about space trip will motivate younger children to “discover ways to read–then read to be informed!” This four-level learning-to-read series offers age-appropriate stories for the entire early reader levels, preschool through grade 4. Children develop their reading skills, general knowledge, and love of reading. Level 2, for grades 1 to 3, is for children who are beginning to read alone. Longer sentences and increased vocabulary are meshed with numerous pictures and information boxes chock full of fun facts. (Ages 5 to 8) –Emilie Coulter
