I hate that I rated this book so low. After all, the illustrations are GORGEOUS. There was a warning that 'Tiny Little Rocket" would make me want to blast off into space and this certainly did that! However, the text is WAY. TOO. TINY. It doesn't work in a storytime and I would argue that I'm skeptical of it being done as a bedtime read. For an emerging reader, they would have a hard time even finding where the text is (it's in odd spots!).
Hence. My low review

Tiny Little Rocket is a sweet little book about a pilot flying through outer space. Complications occur after a meteor hits the ship, knocking it out of its course and into the vast sea of outer space. Luckily, the pilot is able to find their way back in time to celebrate Earth's birthday.
The illustrations for this book are very cute and enjoyable to look at. Some of them cover the entire page, and some are just small squares with a black background. The words are only written on one page with the one next to it blank, so the pictures must go with the one on the pages it is turned to. There is a fun pull-out page at the very end. I like how this book writes it from the perspective of the reader, so anyone could be the pilot finding their way through space.
This book can be used in the classroom to talk about space and the earth. It can also be used to talk about birthdays, and how each year is one revolution of the earth around the sun. It can be used to learn the different planets, and this book includes Pluto, and this was written in 2018.

This has minimal story and minimal educational content, the pictures get repetitive, and the ending is totally random. However, the illustrations are nice enough that I'm giving this three stars. I think this would have worked better as a wordless picture book, especially since the text is printed super small.

I LOVE THIS! I loved the illustrations and the pull out at the end. The class I read it to loved it also! Certainly one that I will add to my child's library once I have children!
