This holiday season, a new crop of books about flight and space exploration offers plenty of gift possibilities for young readers from ages 2 to 14. While the age categories are suggested by the publishers, the reading level of the individual child should be taken into account.

An everyday car ride becomes an adventure in this rhyming tale. When Marco B. sticks his hand out the window, his imagination takes flight. The Flying Hand that swoops and soars / Beyond the windows, out the doors. / I put it up there in the sky / ’Cause only I can make it fly. Ages 5 to 7.
