Summary: Spaceship Earth - book to read on Earth Day
Review: Consisting of thirty-two pages we begin You're Aboard Spaceship Earth by viewing a shuttle blasting off into space. For anyone living in Florida this is an awesome sight to take in as well as listening as the shuttle orbits. There are times when landings must take place in California when Florida is having severe weather problems and this is worth observing as well.

You're Aboard Spaceship Earth shares how everyone must do their part to keep the Earth clean and green and show how we never run out of these vital supplies for our ride along space while living here on Earth. We learn the importance of air, water, plants and animals along with the oxygen we breathe. This also presents other aspects of recycling that children might not of been aware just yet. This would be of interest to any child that has shown an interest in space and what is needed to function while on a shuttle. The examples show how You're Aboard Spaceship Earth is very similar to being in a shuttle with all the same vitals needed to stay healthy and alive.

The illustrations offer both male and female examples with the age suited from five to eight for kids in the primary grades benefiting from this Stage 2 book that includes hands on activities and thoughts to ponder and explore soil and gardens in their own yards. My son was interested in reading You're Aboard Spaceship Earth a few times before moving onto another book. Any child that enjoys science and how the world works will find this book useful.
