Review:
We all know the moon is 239,000
miles away from earth and is also one-quarter the size of earth. We also know
that the Apollo Program sent seven lunar missions to the moon and 12 astronauts
walked on its surface. But, what is it that you may not know about the moon? Did you know that the moon is not a planet but
a satellite that orbits the earth? If have a unique interest in learning about
the moon, this guide is dedicated to all things moonish.
The dark side of the moon
also has a near side and we still don’t know why the two faces of the moon are
so different. In our solar systems there are at least 181 moons orbiting the
planets. There are some very interesting myths about the moon in this guide
that include the ancient Greeks, China and even werewolves. There are plenty of
fascinating facts along with folklore for readers to pause and take notice.
Young readers that are
fascinated by the moon will find plenty of information dedicated to the moons
changing phases, its affects on the tides, lunar eclipses and so much more. Parents
and teachers will enjoy sharing this with eager learners. There are plenty of
photos and illustrations to engage and educate. The back pages share how
readers can make their own moon, craters and find resources so they can explore
all things moonish.
