***** Readers' Favorite Review for The Day I Had a Spaceship: The Day I Had a Spaceship is a delightful “launchpad” for learning and imagination.
As an educator, I really appreciate how The Day I Had a Spaceship delivers important life lessons through an engaging and playful storyline. Ashley Wall’s writing is clear, upbeat, and age-appropriate, making it a perfect read-aloud choice for classrooms or bedtime. The pacing is energetic without being overwhelming, and each character models values like teamwork, encouragement, and problem-solving in ways young readers can relate to. The plot keeps kids engaged, while the underlying themes leave a lasting impression.
Vaughan Duck’s bright and expressive illustrations amplify the action and add humor and charm throughout. I especially love how the book introduces facts about space, like lunar gravity and moon dust, in natural and fun ways. This book would be a hit with any child who dreams of adventure, and it offers educators and parents a great opportunity to discuss science, kindness, and working together.
