Sadie Soars into Space: A Storybook with Fun Solar System Facts (STEM Storybooks for Toddlers)
Written by Arezu Sarvestani
Illustrated by Floss Pottage
I received this book to review from Penguin Books and was pleasantly surprised with the quality of this board book.
Few books written for a toddler audience combine interesting rhymes with appealing illustrations, plus a wealth of factual information about space. The toddler journeys with Sadie the astronaut and her cat Buckles on an adventure through space. However, the author includes a wealth of supplementary information about stars, asteroids, galaxies and more. As the child matures, he will return to this book for more space science to investigate.
This is a delightful read-aloud and parent or classroom library resource to entice young minds to become interested in stem.

A board book that will be enjoyed repeatedly when shared with curious toddlers and preschoolers. The setting is a picnic featuring a boy named Ellison and his pet rabbit. Ellison asks many questions of his rabbit and this interactive book’s readers. For example, what kind of drink do you like, what books do you enjoy, what cookies do you like to eat?
Ellison presents the joys of friendship, empathy, and sharing. He respects the opinions of his beloved rabbit and those of his readers inviting them to share in his play dates and conversations.
The illustrations are simple, bright, and colorful and will especially appeal to the targeted age audience of children ages one through four.
