"A fizzy mix of space fun and science!" --KIRKUS REVIEWS

From A to Z, "you are there" NASA photos capture real women and men astronauts on the International Space Station doing all kinds of work--and having fun! Diverse astronauts from around the world include NASA'S first all-woman spacewalk team and the first African American astronaut on a 6-month mission to the space station.

With STEM-rich text and action words, ASTRONAUTS ZOOM! gives kids a space-eye view from the time astronauts awake till they're zipped in for the night. Kids will also discover how astronauts practice on Earth, getting dressed in spacesuits and "spacewalking" in NASA's training pool. Lots of hands-on STEAM ideas are included--like exploring science and engineering activities, making videos "from space," even throwing a space pizza party!
