Review Quotes
"In Zoom Space Adventure ... die-cuts are used to blast Ava off to her 'big space adventure'. Once Ava is in her rocket ship, she waits for the final countdown, which happens over the next five (four, three, two, one!) pages. Lift off! Ava and her little white kitty are off to space, peeping through windows and behind flaps at all the beauty the cosmos has to offer." --Shelf Awareness
STARRED REVIEW: "This spectacular space jaunt is a top-tier blend of adventure and information, creatively conveyed. Bright colors, inventive use of die-cut pages, and one spectacular pop-up tableau provide eye-catching scenes, almost every one offering a window onto the scene to follow. Ava, a brown-skinned young astronaut-in-the-making, has a bedroom filled with models of rockets and planets ... Five double-page spreads depicting levels of staging around Ava's rocket are die-cut in the shapes of numerals, inviting kids to join in the countdown: "5 / 4 / 3 / 2 / 1 / 0 / LIFT OFF." The text is accessible for young readers yet rich in information and detail." --Kirkus Reviews
