Title: Blast Off! Poems About Space
Author: Lee Bennett Hopkins
Illustrator: Melissa Sweet
Genre: Nonfiction
Subgenre: Poetry
Publishing Date: 1995
Publisher: Harper Collins Publishers
Summary: This book is composed of many poems that are selected by Lee Hopkins abut the many wonders of space. it talks about the planets, stars, other life, comets, and the moon. There is even a letter written to the moon from all of us below. It also talks about astronauts and the unknown in outer space.
I would use this book to supplement a science lesson in the classroom to teach students about space. There is even a poem that would be great for students to memorize to learn all the names of the planets. It would be a great addition to a science lesson for any elementary grade level.
