I Want to Be an Astronaut

From picture-book master Byron Barton, this is the perfect story for young readers who love outer space and want to know more about how NASA astronauts do their job. Once in orbit, the astronauts get a taste of ready-to-eat food, experience zero gravity, go for space walks, and even fix a satellite. It''s fun to fly aboard the shuttle...and then come back to earth. Byron Barton''s signature bright, graphic artwork and straightforward text is a perfect match for the preschool crowd.
