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.

My thoughts on Sadie Sprocket Builds a Rocket by Sue Fleiss

Sadie Sprocket Builds a Rocket is a bright and cheery book to read.

It empowers all children, but especially girls, to dream of feats they can perform. It stresses the science and math behind most projects without making it seem like learning. The book includes “Sadie’s Notebook” at the end to learn more about Mars and women in space. It’s a nice addition.

In today’s learning environment, we need more heroes like Sadie to inspire children.

The rhyming patterns will help early readers sound out the words. I believe between the words, illustrations, and interesting topics; this book will be a hit. Who wouldn’t want to build a rocket and fly to Mars?

Annabel Tempest worked her magic once again. The illustrations jump off the page; they are colorful, well-drawn, and appropriate for the book.

I recommend this book to everyone who reads to children, whether it be parents, grandparents, or caregivers. It should be in every daycare, school, and community library.

I purchased the book, and this review is my honest, unbiased opinion.
