Review Quotes

"In typical DK fashion, the remarkable photos of real rockets take the stage and often span both pages. Surrounding or overlaying these photos are a succinct explanatory paragraph and smaller photos or illustrations with labels and captions that extend the topic." - Booklist, starred review
