A fantastic story about the stars

I enjoyed the main character's enthusiasm about space, sharing facts and about meteors and astronauts. Rocket tries in vain to get her brother's attention, eager to share. The illustrations and the layout of text (different sizes, various positions on the page) add to the enjoyment of this book

I like the story

21 Aug 2023

When we read this at school I wanted to share it with Mummy because I knew she would like Rocket a lot, because she is a little girl with a big voice and a big personality. I thought it was so funny when Rocket grabbed the microphone at the supermarket and made the announcement about the meteor shower - I would love to do announcements too!

Excellent story

08 Aug 2023

A sweet book about a girl called Rocket who loves space and science. Her enthusiasm is infections and the story would be great for younger children to learn some facts about space, along with the adorable illustrations. Look up! also contained a message about putting less focus onto your phones and more onto the world around you, which is a good message in essence but may come across slightly preachy.

My favourite part of the story was when Rocket looked up and saw the meteor shower!

04 Aug 2023

I enjoyed this book. This book is about rocket and her big brother Jamal’ likes to look down at his silly phone and rocket like‘s looking up at the sky. The book is full of fun facts.

Fantastic book about a girl passionate about space and having aspirations to be an astronaut. Funny and clever and super art work! The story is also about how we can miss out by spending too much time looking at our devices! (and not just teenagers). I am sure my new class are going to love this as much as I have and I know that it will open up lots of discussions. I would recommend that you read it now!
