Every very young child should own at least one book in the Usborne That’s Not My … series, and there are lots to choose from. Who wouldn’t want to zoom off on a first reading adventure for example with this bright board book? There’s a different rocket on every page, each with a touch-feely element – a shiny window, a sparkly nose and – ‘That’s my rocket!’ – two bumpy engines.
It offers lots to prompt sensory and language awareness with the clear images, repeated text and different textures. An ideal book to share with future astronauts and space explorers!
