Synopsis: Borderline science fiction. Written in 1962, the story has two children, and their two pets, going into orbit around the earth. Intended as science education for children, it has a somewhat accurate portrayal of being in a zero-G capsule. But of course the idea of those two untrained, and unchaperoned, kids in space (with pets) aboard a (very spacious) Mercury/Gemini style spaceship was (and is) fiction.
