An innovatively formatted book allows kids to blast off into space as they read the adventure and build the tower scenes out of stacking boxes

Are you ready to blast off into space? You’ll need to build your rocket, travel to the International Space Station, complete a spacewalk, find out about the solar system, and travel back to Earth. This innovative adventure box set contains a book and six stacking boxes that can be built into five fantastic scenes—rocket, rocket launch, astronaut, space mission, and solar system. Each build activity reinforces the material covered in the book, and enhances comprehension as well as eye-hand coordination.
