Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Space Race
Lauren Forte · 2017
58/100
👎 Skip It
This is a bright, cheerful Little Golden Book that will delight toddlers who love the Miles from Tomorrowland show — but it offers almost nothing for anyone who does not already know and love the characters. The story is thin even by tie-in standards, and sportsmanship and space enthusiasm are the only real takeaways. Fine as a gift for a dedicated fan of the series, but there are better early space books that stand on their own.
