- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Great introduction to the Apollo 11 mission for younger readers
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is a very beautiful, very simple book about the first moon landing. The story is told in prose with short, simple sentences, or even sometimes just single words. I would tie it into a lesson on space, science, the moon, etc. Possibly ELA units on prose and poetry as well.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Personally, I really enjoyed this book. As one interested in the vast unknown, I found this book delightful. The pictures that accompany are very well done, making the reader feel like a part of the action. This book would be a great introduction to any space lesson in a young classroom setting. I especially loved the way the book was written. The use of rhyming words as well as short stand alone word-sentences make the book exciting. Though the words are descriptive, because the phrases are short, they leave much to the imagination. I would recommend this book.
