      Summary: Astronauts Work in Space by Carol Greene gives readers a neat look into the lives and careers of astronauts. This book targets a younger astronauts and shows a few of the different jobs of astronauts on the space shuttle and what is required of a person for them to become an astronaut. Personal Reaction: This is a really neat and simple informational book for young readers. Real life photos illustrate the book and give extra detail. I loved getting a look at the space shuttles and parts of the astronaut career that most of us never get to see. Another neat detail is that there are action words that add a little bit of excitement to the page. For example, when the astronauts work on controls, they "tap, tap, tap". It can help keep the attention of a young audience. Extension Ideas: Have the class research astronauts. Ask each student to come up with 5 facts or details that were not discussed in the book. As a class, create a brochure for the career of an astronaut. Include facts found in the book and encourage students to be creative and artistic when they illustrate the brochures. Display them where the rest of the school can see.
