This book is for children in ages 4-8. Who hasn't wondered what it's like to be an astronaut? This book explains how candidates train to become astronauts or 'star sailors'. It looks at how they prepare for a mission, what they do in space, and what they experience along the way. Children will love discovering how astronauts eat, sleep, and spend their day in weightless conditions. Engaging photographs and clearly written text will help hopeful young astronauts decide if they, too, have the 'right stuff'.
