Interesting Book

Hey all,

In class, we had to do an annotated bibliography over 25 children's books that could be used in the science classroom. One of my favorite books out of the one's that I chose was Max Goes to the Space Station: A Science Adventure with Max the Dog.

In this book, Max the dog is able to be an astronaut. He accompanies astronauts as they go into space, and his owners are able to watch his experiences and communicate with the astronauts on a live video camera.

I think it is a wonderful book to incorporate in the science classroom. Kids can relate to it because they'll either have a dog or some other pet that they'd imagine going into space, or they'll simply be interested in the idea of an animal going into space that they all might want to read the book on their own.

It gives an interesting perspective of things that happen in space. I truly enjoyed it as an adult, so I have faith that children in the science classroom will enjoy this book as well!
