Sadie Sprocket is ready to soar!
Sadie Sprocket is a girl with a big dream—to go to Mars! No one has been to Mars (yet!), so of course that’s where Sadie sets her sights. She learns everything she can about the planet and space, then assembles her crew of trusty stuffed animals. Together they build a rocket and prepare for the historic journey. And then finally—blastoff!
Sadie and her team make it to Mars, but what will they encounter when they leave the ship? And will they travel home safely as the world watches?
With cheery rhyming text and quirky artwork, this is a story about dreaming big and reaching for the stars. The book includes facts about Mars and women in space to inspire budding explorers everywhere.
Book Review
Sadie Sprocket Builds a Rocket is about a little girl with a big imagination and a big goal! Sadie wants to be the first to land on Mars! Of course, she knows just what to do. She interviews her crew, builds her rocket, gives an interview, and flies off to space.
I think this book is so cute and inspiring for children. Though they know Sadie doesn’t really go to Mars, they’ll see that having big dreams is great! They’ll love the rhyming text and the fun illustrations that accompany it. I love how this book focuses on doing something new. Sadie wants to do something that no one has ever done. She doesn’t just want to go to space; she wants to be a pioneer – to explore and research something brand new.
Your kids will love having this story read to them, and you’ll love reading it too! The facts in the back of the book about Mars and Women in Space are great for kids that are a little bit older. You’ll all find it fascinating. Who knows? Maybe your little one will fly to Mars one day!
