I'm Going To Outher Space!

I'm Going to Outer Space! Book Cover Book Page

It’s almost time for bed, but Luis is staring out the window at the starry night sky. Any minute now, he’s expecting a space ship to pick him up and whisk him to outer space. While he waits, he imagines the strange creatures he’ll encounter. Will he find a robot pal? Will he get to fly though space with a rocket-pack? Will he meet . . . aliens? Get lost in outer space as you pore over pages filled with dozens and dozens of robots and aliens (some new and some that might be familiar). Join Luis to find out all the incredible things he expects to see and do on his daring journey to a distant planet.

I’m Going To Outer Space! is a 2018 winner of a Family Choice Award.

This book is actually pretty cool. It's great for kids who dream of being an astronaut one day or enjoy outer space in general. It's also great for adults because throughout the pages are 70's, 80's, and 90's sci-fi robots and aliens. I found myself checking the pages to see how many I could name and even though I knew a lot of them, I was surprised at how many I couldn't. Printed on glossy pages, the art was rich, and pleasing. The vocabulary and sentence structure is simple enough for young readers, so I would recommend it to kids ages 4 to 8.
Tina Haigler5 Star Goodreads review
This is a fun book to read with preschoolers, but it's the parents who are going to enjoy it the most -- if you're a science fiction fan, that is. The author/illustrator has included drawings of spaceships, robots, and aliens you will recognize from almost every science fiction classic you can name. Kids will recognize the newer ones -- from Star Wars and Star Trek -- but adults will spot nods to Firefly, Battlestar Galactica, Lost in Space, Spaceballs, Space 1999, and many more. It's the Where's Waldo for science fiction fans.
