[Joan · Rating 5 out of 5]

One of the Space Launch! titles from Weekly Reader for young readers. Diagrams and photographs accompany the interesting text, answering basic questions and providing foundational information for young learners. A glossary follows the text, supporting reader learning and understanding. A strength of the series is the presentation of information in such a way as to capture the young reader’s interest

Young readers investigate discoveries about the Moon, explore why the Moon appears to change shape, and investigate historic manned lunar missions. Topics in this book include where is the Moon, Moon facts, on the surface, the far side, the Moon’s shapes, the Moon and Earth, water on the moon, and much, much more.

Highly recommended.
