I Want to Be an Astronaut

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!

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!

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?

My granddaughter is three and she really likes this book.

My 4 yo grandson loved this. We play Astronaut ant the book has been unitentionally launched a few times. It's definitely not one for before nap or bed. I love the simple illustrations which we trace and color in different ways. The figures are large enough that he can cut the traced ones out by himself--a favorite activity.

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!

My son, the aspiring astronaut, received this book for Christmas. He loves it! He wanted me to read it to him every night for the first year that he had it. The best part is, it is very easy to memorize and my son would "read" along with me every night. Great memories! I highly recommend this book for any child intrigued by space exploration or interested in a future career as an astronaut :)

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.

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.

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。

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 for5 yrs and up
