In this delightful picture book from the team of Roman and Arkova, children become “pirates in the clouds” as they take a voyage through the solar system. An older brother (or maybe sister, the characters are gender neutral) and younger sister (again hard to tell) climb on back of a rocket ship and soar through the galaxy, whizzing past the planets and playing among the constellations.
The cadence of the poetry feels off, which is why I give this little story 4 out of 5 stars. ( )

Take a trip through our galaxy visiting each planet before we wake up safe and snug in our beds. Another cute book by a fabulous author.
I received a copy to facilitate my review. The opinions expressed here are my own. ( )

This lovely bedtime story takes two young boys on an adventure in space before bedtime. As they ride atop a rocket ship, they travel past the moon and planets while viewing constellations along the way. But, every trip across the galaxy ends up in their bed ready to sleep.

The author uses a rhyming scheme to travel through the pages and the rhymes work well without any awkward words. You can easily teach your child more about the planets and constellations by looking for them in the night sky before going to bed.

In this book, the muted illustrations work nicely to bring a calming feel to the story. But, the artists style of illustrations appears a bit blurry on the pages.

If you have a space-loving boy or are looking for a new addition to your bedtime stories, ROCKET-BYE will take them on an adventure at every bedtime. ( )

The story of two children zooming around on a rocketship is written with dream like quality. With artwork that is fun, whimsical and smart, this book is a great before bedtime tale.

Author Carole P. Roman has a knack for coming up with cute and informative children's books. Rocket - Bye is no different, as it goes through the planets names and a view of the stars. You and any child will be filled with calm wonder.

I had only one issue with Rocket-bye is that in the part where the children learn the names of the planets, Pluto is the last named. To my knowledge Pluto is no longer cataloged as a planet. Or I could be wrong and it may have been changed it back.

Rocket - Bye is for both boys and girls. It is not too challenging to read and is a joy to view as is all of Carole P. Roman’s books. ( )

I won a copy of this. Very cute book for the preschooler. First time read to the little one, but know will be one read over and over. I have found Carole Roman a very good author for children's books. Would recommend to others.
