In Sadie Sprocket Builds a Rocket, readers are introduced to Sadie, an imaginative girl with aspirations that reach beyond Earth. Her dream is to journey to Mars, a destination that remains uncharted for humans. With an insatiable curiosity, Sadie dives into her research, learning everything she can about the red planet and the wonders of space travel. Her adventure begins as she gathers her loyal crew of stuffed animals, each with its own unique personality, ready to support her ambitious quest.
As Sadie and her team embark on their mission, they showcase creativity and teamwork in building their very own rocket. The excitement builds as they prepare for launch, leading to the thrilling moment of blastoff. Upon arriving on Mars, Sadie and her stuffed friends are met with the unknown, prompting questions about what they might discover outside their spacecraft. This whimsical journey unfolds with a sense of adventure and wonder, inviting readers to ponder the possibilities that await in the cosmos.
The story is not just about reaching for the stars; it also serves as an educational tool, featuring fun facts about Mars and highlighting the contributions of women in space exploration. With its playful rhymes and charming illustrations, Sadie Sprocket Builds a Rocket inspires young dreamers to envision their own journeys and embrace the spirit of exploration.
“Fliess’s (Flash and Gleam) lighthearted quatrain text clearly delineates what’s required of a leader: Sadie keeps the crew motivated…and she shows tenacity and ingenuity in the face of a Martian sandstorm and a grounded ship. Bright and bouncy colors underscore the spirit of adventure, and Tempest’s (the Babylit series) cartooned drawings have a freewheeling spontaneity that’s well suited to the idea of Sadie going where her mind takes her. Back matter contributes facts about Mars and women in space.” —Publishers Weekly “Inspiring, adventurous fun for aspirational kids.” —Kirkus Reviews
