Books with title Rocket to the Moon

Join Little Nye and his friends in a new picture book celebrating imaginative play in simple stories and fresh illustrations with a fun, retro feel. (Ages 1-3)"How do you get to the moon, Lester?" asks Little Nye. He can’t get there by jumping—he needs to go in a rocket. Stacking pots and pans, pails and umbrellas works very well, until he adds the engine, and—oh no!—it all tumbles down. But Nella and Gracie join in, donning clever homemade space helmets, and soon they’re ready for lift-off; four friends on a magical rocket trip to the moon.

WE ARE going to take an imaginary space voyage to a neighbor we all know well, at least by sight - our moon. Imaginary - but also realistic, for we shall be traveling in a rocket ship built according to the latest scientific knowledge. Our equipment, our path through the heavens, our exploration upon the moon itself will be quite similar to an actual journey that will undoubtedly take place soon. At that time, a dream of cen- turies will be realized - man will land on the moon. We have good reason to be confident that our imaginary voyage is a prelude to the real thing. Already, one of the last barriers to lunar flight has been overcome by the successful development of rockets with thrust, or power, enough to break earth's gravitational hold. Man-made satellites sent around the moon and the sun, and around our own planet as well, attest to this great achievement. And with each new satellite sent into orbit, we are bridging the awesome abyss of outer space and probing the mysteries of our solar system.

While Lester is reading about rockets, Little Nye is busy building his own rocket, to fly all the way to the moon! Little Nye’s rocket is looking really good until, suddenly, it all tumbles down – oh no! But with a bit of imagination, and some amazing space helmets, Little Nye and Lester, and Nella and Gracie too, can still take a magical trip to the moon!
