Format:Paperback
We bought the whole series of Amazing Machine books and my two year old son loves them. The pictures are big and bright and really capture the imagination. Perfect bedtime reading - the only problem being that he wants me to read them all !

My 2 1/5 year old loves this book. Its one of his favorite for bedtime. It is beautifully drawn. Graphics are big and easy to understand. I like it as it makes it easy to explain the concept of the earth and moon. The characters are really cute. Definately a boys book

My son loved other books from this series, Dazzling Diggers, Terrific Trains and Flashing Fire Engines. And then my little girl was also delighted by the fast pace, catchy phrases and the mouse, chicken and rabbit characters. Roaring Rockets has the same delightful characters and brightly-coloured illustrations but I felt cheated with the story. It seemed to be missing its usual spunk and educational content.

Fun for three year olds
My twin three year old boys love this series and this book is no exception. Fun, rhyming words and bright colourful pictures and technically accurate too.

Yes, it's rockets and he loves it, but I don't.
Well, the 2 yr old likes this book, mainly I expect because he is really nuts about rockets and it is nicely illustrated. Read more

Great little rhyming story
This is great rhyming story for children in the eyfs. It helps children with learning phonics. Good resource linked to a theme on space. Would definately recommend.
