Designed after the Space Shuttle Advanced Crew Escape Suit worn by NASA Astronauts for launch and reentry, this deluxe replica is much more than a basic costume. Metal fittings, zippered pockets and more offer the authentic details desired by collectors and museums. (A basic suit, without these additions is also available, see below.) Made from a heavy duty Nylon Cordura and double stitched, this spacesuit was built for wear and tear. It can be worn repeatedly or placed on display.

From School Library Journal PreSchool-While stargazing through his telescope, PiggyWiggy imagines himself wearing a special space suit, climbing into a rocket, and preparing for blastoff. Once in space he would explore faraway planets and have grand adventures. The short text ends with the piglet safely back home "in time for breakfast." Each page in this attractively designed book has a vividly colored background in a variety of bold shades: hot pink, bright blue, sunny yellow. The cartoon illustrations are playful and imaginative, featuring Picasso-like planets and space friends. The frontispiece shows the inquisitive pig in space pajamas, surrounded by his astronaut gear-including bubble helmet and sandwich lunch. Young children will enjoy spotting these items as they appear throughout the pages. Pair this title with Nick Sharratt's Rocket Countdown (Candlewick, 1995) for a fun-filled toddler storytime.

Description: Here is a rare perspective on a story we only thought we knew. For Apollo 11, the first moon landing, is a story that belongs to many, not just the few and famous. It belongs to the seamstress who put together twenty-two layers of fabric for each space suit. To the engineers who created a special heat shield to protect the capsule during its fiery reentry. It belongs to the flight directors, camera designers, software experts, suit testers, telescope crew, aerospace technicians, photo developers, engineers, and navigators.Gathering direct quotes from some of these folks who worked behind the scenes, Catherine Thimmesh reveals their very human worries and concerns. Culling NASA transcripts, national archives, and stunning NASA photos from Apollo 11, she captures not only the sheer magnitude of this feat but also the dedication, ingenuity, and perseverance of the greatest team ever?the team that worked to first put man on that great gray rock in the sky.Reviews & Features:Review Publishers Weekly, Starred : "This behind-the-scenes look at the first Apollo moon landing has the feel of a public television documentary in its breadth and detail."School Library Journal : "This dramatic account will mesmerize even readers already familiar with the event?and also leave them awed by the level of care and dedication it took to surmount so many daunting technological challenges." ?SLJHorn Book : "Thimmesh gives names and voices to the army that got Neil Armstrong and company to the moon and back.
