I liked this book for several reasons. The first reason is the beautiful illustrations. They pair nicely with the text and use so many bright colors that contrast with the darkness of space. I think they show the imagination of the narrator.

The second reason I liked this book is because of the perspective it is told from. It is told in third person and an unknown narrator is pondering what astronauts dream of and creating possible dreams. Then the perspective shifts and although it is still told in third person, you get to see what the astronauts are really dreaming of.

I think the main message of this story is abut how no matter where you go in life or how far away from home you go you will always be reminiscent of your home and where you came from. You could be the most successful person in the world but you will never forget your home and your roots. ( )

Review:
In this children's book you learn all about the planets and space in an interesting way. Throughout the book you are trying to find out what the sleeping astronauts are dreaming of? Is it mars, jupiter, neptune? This book is perfect for a bedtime story.

Summary:
In this children's book, "Astronauts are Sleeping", it talks about three astronauts sleeping in space. The book goes through multiple planets and you get a little description of each plant for example, "do they dram of dusty Mars, Where the sun sets blue and skies are pink?". Eventually you see that the astronauts are just dreaming of their homes and childhood. ( )
