I Like Space! series. In a simple question-and-answer format, this book describes what it's like to blast into space, how astronauts eat (and go to the bathroom), and how to become an astronaut. The explanations can be confusing because the text is so minimal, but the vocabulary is easy to read. Impressive photographs (and amateurish cartoon sketches) accompany the writing. "Fun facts" are included. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind., The Horn Book Guide Fall 2008
