Man on the Moon (Picture Puffin Books)
Grade 2-4?A poetic telling of the flight and lunar landing of Apollo 11 in July 1969. The text is very brief and may confuse children with no knowledge of the subject. The full-color illustrations help clarify the text, and many of the paintings are appropriately dramatic: the first glimpse of the moon from the spacecraft, the shadow of the Eagle as it nears its destination, and a double-page spread of Neil Armstrong's foot making its mark. This book could complement Judy Donnelly's Moonwalk (Random, 1989) and Susan Gold's Countdown to the Moon (Crestwood, 1992), both of which contain photographs and more detailed information.?Carolyn Jenks, First Parish Unitarian Church, Portland, MECopyright 1997 Reed Business Information, Inc.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
