We had a great opportunity to review 5 books from Sourcebooks:

Rocket Town (by Bob Logan) is a story that follows an astronaut and his canine companion as they drive an old pickup through Rocket Town, passing all manner of space craft like a taxi rocket, a police rocket, a school bus rocket, and even a rocket that looks like a shark. Each colorful spread is bursting with an eye-dazzling array of rockets from big to small, fast to slow, practical to extremely silly. Our intrepid astronaut and his dog then get into their favorite rocket (a pickup truck-shaped rocket of course!), and the final count down  and blast off is sure to thrill young readers.

My Review: My children and I really enjoyed the books we received from Sourcebooks. My 6 year old son enjoyed My Name is Not Alexander because Alexander got to change into different people, he found that to be alot of fun. As a homeschool mom I will definitely be using this book in years to come to incorporate into our history lessons, the back of the book has great explanations on the hero’s Alexander chose to be (Theodore Roosevelt, Thomas Edison, etc.) My 2 year daughter really enjoyed Baby Baby Baby because I thik she can relate to this book especially since we have a new baby plus she enjoyed The Night Night book.  I found the board books to be perfect for her especially since she is talking a bit more and learning new words, to see the excitement on her face as I read the book and she pointed to the pictures. My 3 1/2 year old son really enjoyed The Rocket Town book, with the brightly colored pictures of rockets then at the end of the book he thought it was funny that the boy chose a truck to go to space in instead of the rocket!

Sourcebooks has a great selection of books for all ages and gender. They even offer ebooks and Apps! Check out Sourcebooks for their best sellers!
