Customer Reviews

A bit dated, but still a valuable resource for young children in their study of the moon

This book, written at the level of the early elementary school student, is dated but still worthy of being read. The points that are dated are few and generally are a consequence of the fact that the moon had not yet been visited when the book was published. The scenes of humans walking on the moon are all artists' renditions and have been completely superseded by the photos of American astronauts. The remaining points are all scientifically accurate, making this a good book for young people to learn about the moon.
