Title: An Excellent Introduction for Younger Readers
Review: I often give talks on space flight to school children of the age targeted by this book. The subject of animal space flights always proves a big hit with these young people, and the author has done a remarkably good, and certainly well researched job in putting this book together. Most people can only remember the momentous flight of Russian space dog Laika in 1957, but this book shows that our canine friends were being sent into space on top of research rockets well before Laika's historic, but ill-fated orbital journey. Excellent photographs accompany the well-written and evocative text, and I have a feeling that a lot of curious adults will find this book every bit as fascinating as its younger readers. I know I did.
