Nothing like a 5-star Amazon review on your new book from the guy who created the company.
Jeff Bezos gave fiancée Lauren Sanchez’s new children’s book the top rating in a review posted on Wednesday, calling The Fly Who Flew to Space “the best children’s book my fiancée has ever written.”
The hardcover picture book, which came out Sept. 10, is the first book by Sanchez, the former TV anchor who has been with Bezos since 2019 and got engaged to the billionaire Amazon founder last year.
The book, about a fly named Flynn that dreams of becoming an astronaut, features a glow-in-the-dark poster. Sanchez, who struggled with dyslexia, said in a recent interview that the story is intended to encourage children to face their educational challenges and “keep wandering, daydreaming, and find what you’re really good at.”
Bezos, who has previously reviewed milk and some cheese snacks on Amazon, has also dropped five stars on at least three other books. His profile features nine total reviews.
Beyond Flynn the fly, Sanchez has her own dreams of going to space. Sanchez has said she plans to take an all-female crew aboard a suborbital rocket ship built by Bezos’ Blue Origin space venture.
