Summary: While You Wait for the Next Harry Potter Book
Comment: Miss Pickerell's worries are few: keeping her cow happy and finding enough new rocks for her award-winning rock collection. Yes, her worries are few...until she finds herself on a rocket ship to Mars.
This children's book, first published in 1951, does indeed show its age, but it also retains its charm. Miss Pickerell's light adventure is a delightful way to introduce children to some very basic scientific concepts: gravity, space travel, magnetism, and more. Sure, the science is quite dated, but Miss Pickerell is a treasure.
Still waiting for the next Harry Potter book to come out? Miss Pickerell might be just what you're looking for.

Summary: Elderly Miss Pickerell finds a rocket in her pasture!
Comment: One in a series of charming science adventures for youngsters. Miss Pickerell goes to visit her pet cow one morning and finds a rocketship in the pasture! It's a mission to Mars, and a curious Miss Pickerell finds herself accidentally locked inside! The science is a tad bit dated, being written in the 1950's, but the adventure and fun will introduce scientific concepts to children and may even awake an interest in science. There are many other Miss Pickerell books, in which she visits the Arctic, space stations, lunar colonies, and goes diving in an atomic submarine! Charming fun and adventure with a science backdrop is all too rare. Though a bit out of date science-wise, Miss Pickerell's adventures are sure to be treasured by youngsters. Also an interesting read for nostalgic adults, believe it or not.
