Roman continues to show her unique ability to create captivating children's books. Is there anything this author can't do? This book is different than her other series, and just as good. The lyrical prose is mesmerizing for young children's ears to listen to. The artwork is beautiful and the colors so enchanting. My daughter and I really loved this book and read it three times in one sitting. And it was educational, as well as entertaining.

“Rocket-Bye” by Carole P. Roman, invites you to fly far where only a rocket can take you, showing and exploring the skies with all it has. You will wonder from above how small everything is down on Earth, how close and friendly our constellations look and how bright the stars are, shining and lighting the way on the trip to all the planets.

This book is a chronicle of a voyage of the imagination, where two children hop literally on top of a rocket ship and then fly on it through the solar system, starting with Mercury and then outward past all the planets. Along the way, they look at some of the most prominent stars and the constellations they are a part of. At the end, the two children are tucked into their beds and are sound asleep.

ROCKET-BYE by Carole P. Roman is another great children's book that is filled with wonderful text and vividly colored illustrations about our galaxy that children can learn about as they travel through the pages and wonder what will appear first on this exciting trip beyond the blue. Along the way the planets seem to pause, for a spellbound glance at all their many fascinating wonders, and the stars sparkle like little diamond treasures, hidden among a blanket of velvety black as the rocket, as ...more

What young kids dream when they head to bed at night.
What do kids think about when they see the night sky before bed? They dream of the moon, the stars and the planets, and what it would be like to see all in a rocket ship. But in the end, they find themselves in bed and in dreamland.
This is a very colorful book and the kids' imaginations soar along with the rocket ship they ride on. Carole does a wonderful job with the story and the rhyming. A book for all young children. ...more

This is a cute short picture book for young children. The rhyming in the book is done very well by the author. The pages are full color and well done.
I received a paperback copy from the author in a contest I won online.
