This is one of those children’s books that somehow continues to appeal to readers as they age, despite being written for a younger audience.

I would absolutely recommend this book to any home cook that is looking to experiment a little with something fun or unfamiliar, but not outrageously avant-garde or complicated.

I don’t always enjoy horror books. They too often either give me nightmares or are so silly that I don’t find them scary at all. Reading one that is engaging without being either too terrifying or too melodramatic has been a real treat.

Though this book is partly about the science and tech that enabled early space exploration, it’s also about people overcoming severe racism and sexism to just do their jobs and, incidentally, make fantastic contributions to our nation’s history.

If you have any interest at all in the animal life of Central and West Texas, you’ll find it engaging, informative, and generally a pleasure to read.

This was actually a re-read for me, though it’d been probably about a decade since I read it originally. It’s certainly a favorite of mine now!

I’ve been in a bit of a reading slump lately, and… well, this was a fantastic novel to pull me out of it.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who’s interested in learning more about wine yet might be hesitating because of how intimidating the whole wine scene can seem.
