Read this to my class of 4 & 5 year olds (many students are going into kindergarten in the fall) and they all loved it. I also gave it to my nephew for a Pre-K graduation gift and he loved it so much he wanted to read it again. The pictures are very cool and the story is very sweet. I would definitely buy this again :)

The illustrations in this book are fantastic. My 5.5 and 3.5 year old didn't really understand the parallel between the mission to space & mission to Kindergarten, but nevertheless its a cute book.

My grandson loved this book! He's really into space, planets, rockets, and everything associated. I got this for him about a week before he started kindergarten and he loved it! My suggestion is that you read it by yourself first and think about ways you can apply the concepts and images to your child before you read it to him/her. It will become a favorite and you can really create a bond through this book with your child's anxiety about beginning kindergarten. It's as much fun for you as it is for your child.
