The illustrations in this book are very colorful. Lines are used to define the edges of all objects in the story; there are both straight and curved lines. The texture is soft and smooth. It appears that the illustrations were done in digital media.
I chose Science as my subject and Kindergarten as my grade level. I would bring materials to the class to allow for the children to create their own rockets. I would allow them to take turns flying their rockets to help them understand how they fly and to possibly spark their interests.
Thanks for sharing this book! I also enjoyed reading your idea for using this book in a science lesson. I think it would great even with older children to inspire a STEM/STEAM lesson on creating and launching rockets or spatial interrogations.
