Super SandCastle: Out of This World series.
These somewhat scattered books look at what it takes for humans to explore the solar system, from the technologies used to propel rockets into space to the requirements of being an astronaut and the experiences of living and working in space--including the dangers. Eye-catching images of spacecraft, astronauts, and training facilities are included. Each book includes a quiz. Glos.

Super Sandcastle: Biggest, Baddest Books series.
"Abraham Lincoln's ghost haunts the White House." This book treats its subject as fact, concluding "no one knows for sure" whether or not ghosts are real. Like other books in the series, this entry offers random statements about ghosts and haunted places. Color photographs, many enhanced with spooky effects, are accompanied by a captionlike text. This book is best for browsing. Glos.
