      This nonfiction text explains how space travel works, using a particular spacecraft as an example. It talks about the fuel needed, the speed of the craft, etc. While I understand that it is an early reader and therefore has to keep it simple, I felt like important details were missing. Somehow, it didn't seem like the most informative book to me. However, a lot of kids are interested in space travel and this could at least serve as an introduction -- and one that even young children can read on their own. The book contains a number of important nonfiction components, including a table of contents, a glossary, an index, further resources, additional facts, and full-color photographs.
