A is for Astronaut: Blasting Through the Alphabet
Sleeping Bear Press
A is for Astronaut is a great book for the older siblings of the mini-nauts that love Letters from Space! Space has been called “the final frontier” and for most of us, the top job in that frontier is that of astronaut! In A is for Astronaut: Blasting Through the Alphabet, retired Astronaut Clayton Anderson takes readers on an A-Z tour explaining not only what it means to be an explorer in space but also the science (and dangers) of space flight. Topics include the history behind and ongoing mission of NASA, famous astronauts and their missions, equipment and innovations, and explanations of key terminology.
