Sadie Sprocket is ready to soar!

Sadie Sprocket is a girl with a big dream―to go to Mars! No one has been to Mars (yet!), so of course that’s where Sadie sets her sights. She learns everything she can about the planet and space, then assembles her crew of trusty stuffed animals. Together they build a rocket and prepare for the historic journey. And then finally―blastoff!

Sadie and her team make it to Mars, but what will they encounter when they leave the ship? And will they travel home safely as the world watches?

With cheery rhyming text and quirky artwork, this is a story about dreaming big and reaching for the stars. The book includes facts about Mars and women in space to inspire budding explorers everywhere.

Product description

Review

“Fliess’s (Flash and Gleam) lighthearted quatrain text clearly delineates what’s required of a leader: Sadie keeps the crew motivated…and she shows tenacity and ingenuity in the face of a Martian sandstorm and a grounded ship. Bright and bouncy colors underscore the spirit of adventure, and Tempest’s (the Babylit series) cartooned drawings have a freewheeling spontaneity that’s well suited to the idea of Sadie going where her mind takes her. Back matter contributes facts about Mars and women in space.” ―Publishers Weekly

“Inspiring, adventurous fun for aspirational kids.” ―Kirkus Reviews

“The contributions that women have made in science is rarely taught. Sadie is the first to Mars and soon reaches to fame. I recommend Sadie’s adventure into space to encourage young girls and boys to share in their science adventures into space.” ―Midwest Book Review

Wonderfully written and illustrated

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on January 15, 2021

Verified Purchase

An excellent story. One of my First Reads choices for January (free for Prime members).

I thought my 4 year old granddaughter would like it and she loved it. We haven't been able to visit during lockdown but we have a zoom call a few times a week to read a bedtime story using the zoom screen share and an ebook (usually from the library). The story is good. It's in rhyme and the illustrations are excellent. Theres been a lot of thought gone into the story and illustrations. Lots to look at and talk about. Our little one liked it so much she asked us to read it again (and again). Apparently she's been learning about the planets and space. I suspect we'll be reading it often. Definitely recommended.

Missing letters (Kindle edition)

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on January 3, 2021

Verified Purchase

Some faults in the Kindle edition: many missing letters, particularly the letter “e” (see photo). There also seems to be an inconsistency in that blocks of text can be displayed larger with in a box, making them easier to read, but getting the text box to display is inconsistent. Otherwise the story is lovely.

So colourful.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on February 26, 2021

Verified Purchase

Amazon Prime First Read for January 2021.

This is a really good, bright and colourful book. The illustrations are excellent and would add to children’s knowledge and understanding through the narrative. I like that it’s Sadie going to space and not Samuel as it’s an important message. The text rhymes which is good and should appeal to children . The language used is mostly appropriate but some would need discussion which is a positive in that it helps extend a child’s vocabulary. It should give rise to questions and answer sessions about space, space travel, planets etc. Sadie’s notebook and women in space at the end is really good.

A wonderful introduction to space, rockets and science.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on January 16, 2021

Verified Purchase

This book provides a wonderful introduction to space, rockets and science and I am thrilled to see a little girl as the main character who is smart, resourceful and ambitious. We need more books like this for children.
The rhyming pattern is a joy to read and fun to read out loud. The illustrations are beautiful, colourful and have lots to discover in them too.
I also love the Sadie's Notebook section at the end which contains more scientific facts about Mars along with details of Women in Space role models. A fantastic way to engage children with learning about space and showing that it is accessible to all genders.

Great read for 6 year olds

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on January 16, 2021

Verified Purchase

My grandson read this story to me (via Zoom) during one of our daily reading sessions. The text was sufficiently accessible to read unaided, but with some words that challenged him. The rhyming format helped here. The storyline was engaging (he is interested in space), had a female in a technical role as central character (challenges gender stereotypes) and there was a helpful 'facts about Mars' page (good support for adults and independent readers). Overall, the author has constructed and written this book very well with regard for the audience: will be looking out for more titles to share with the grandkids!
