David’s Space Flight—Waking Up is a children's story written by Sharron L Hillman-Dwyer. Now, David, Julia, and Annie have got to complete a class project for presentation tomorrow. What could this project be, and can the three be cooperative enough to pool ideas together to get the job done? Time will tell.

The story has a great start. I was curious to know why David was sleeping in class and what the outcome of the project would be. The illustrations were another thing that added to my thrill. They were bright, detailed, and correctly reflected each concerned scene or incident. I also found the simple word choices impressive, as they make it easy for children to follow the story.

In addition, I liked that the characters are realistic and that their conversations are crafted in a way children can easily connect to. From the beginning of the story, when Julia comes to wake David up, to the end of the story, the conversations felt natural and appropriate for children in those age ranges. I am especially impressed with the opportunity given to Julia to grow. Her former and latter dispositions mark a remarkable shift in the narrative.

Furthermore, I think I am satisfied with the way the story is concluded, as everything else left out could be easily inferred from the information available to the readers. There are extension activities included at the end of the book, which aim to not only assess the readers' understanding of the story but also engage them in some great exercises.

I didn't dislike anything in this book. The editing is impressive. I found just two grammatical errors in the book. David’s Space Flight—Waking Up earns 5 out of 5 stars for the positive values it projects and for the incredible information about the planet Venus and the volcanoes. I recommend the book to readers between the ages of three and nine.
