The Astro Kids
Guest Author - Diana Pederson

Robert Elmer. The Great Galaxy Goof and The Zero-G Headache. Bethany Backyard. 2000.

The Astro Kids book series reminds me of the Jetson TV show from the early 1960s cartoons I used to watch on Saturday morning. It is difficult to believe that in my lifetime, I’ve seen us move from just landing a man on the moon to actually having an orbiting space station.

Your children have grown up in the space age. They will love these stories of kids living on space stations. Their adventures are hilarious, and at times, scary too. Scattered throughout the story are questions and answers. Your children will also learn the meaning of common abbreviations used in email and other online activities. My son tells me some kids are talking this way when meeting in person too. Each book has a spiritual message. Refusing to be angry and learning to forgive others (Colossians 3:13) is the message in The Great Galaxy Goof. Romans 12:6 teaches that we have different gifts. This is the emphasis in and The Zero-G Headache.

Recommendation

Children from age 7 up will enjoy these books. They’re found at your local Christian bookstore or available online at amazon.com. Just click on the appropriate links below. You may want to look for additional books written by Robert Elmer, an author that definitely knows how to connect with children.
