For a special breed of individual, the call of space is worth the risk it entails: men such as US astronauts Donald Pettit and Kenneth Bowersox, and Russian flight engineer Nikolai Budarin, who in November 2002 left on what was to be a routine 14-week mission maintaining the International Space Station. But then, on February 1, 2003, the Columbia exploded beneath them. With the launch program suspended indefinitely, these astronauts had suddenly lost their ride home.

In the most authoritative book ever written about Apollo, David Whitehouse reveals the true drama behind the mission, telling the story in the words of those who took part - based around exclusive interviews with the key players. This enthralling book takes us from the early rocket pioneers to the shock America received from the Soviets' launch of the first satellite, Sputnik; from the race to put the first person into space, through President Kennedy's enthusiasm and later doubts, to the astronauts' intense competition to leave the first footprint.

Mindfulness and meditation have helped millions to get to sleep with much more ease than ever before. Something that many parents haven’t considered is how these things can help their little ones to wind down, get ready for sleep, kick nightmares from their headspace, and settle in for a long night’s rest. Teaching meditation to your children might seem like an impossible feat, but many have found that their children are remarkably receptive to it when it’s presented like a story.

The kingdom of Cornucopia was once the happiest in the world.

Everything was perfect - except for the misty Marshlands to the north, which, according to legend, were home to the monstrous Ickabog. Anyone sensible knew that the Ickabog was just a myth to scare children into behaving. But the funny thing about myths is that sometimes they take on a life of their own.

Soooo Short, But PDF Included
While I absolutely adore audiobooks, I often question the need for them for children's picture books. First, ideally, the parent or caregiver should be reading to or with the child young enough to still need a picture book. Second, to be fully worthwhile, the audiobook version of a picture book should have something audibly pleasing (e.g., music, sound effects, etc) to make it fun to listen to—and something Mom or Dad won’t typically do—and include the PDF version of the book, which Audible does allow.
This is a super short audiobook, just over 6 minutes. In it, we learn of the young boy's desire to be an astronaut when he grows up, imagining many aspects of what it would be like if he were one. I appreciated having the visuals to go along with the audiobook, so I could see Tom's sense of joy and wonder when he thinks about being an astronaut. The book then jumps to when the boy is older, has completed his studies, and is now an astronaut. His imaginings of being one as a boy are very similar to what he experiences as an adult. The book did not end with any sort of fun space facts, which I think is a great way to end a picture book with nonfiction elements. The audiobook didn't have any special sound effects, music, or other audio elements that would make it worthwhile to buy for that reason. However, if you have a child who is an astronomy fan and dreams of being an astronaut, she—because little girls, too, want to become astronauts!—or he will probably enjoy this audiobook with its PDF.
