Roaring Rockets

Amazing Machines: Roaring Rockets by Tony Mitton and Ant Parker Rockets have power. They rise and roar. This rocket's waiting, ready to soar. Rockets carry astronauts with cool, white suits oxygen helmets and gravity boots. Blast off with more out-of-this-world couplets! This time it is machines that fly. In bright and bold illustrations that are as witty as the text, the animal crew roars and whizzes into outer space.

TONY MITTON was born in Tripoli, North Africa, and grew up in Africa, Germany, Hong Kong, and England. He was a much-loved poet, teacher and writer of children's books, and lived for many years in Cambridge, England.
