Very factual information written on the level of a 1st-4th grade child.

Good to use in the classroom in conjunction with a unit on space.

This is a great book for teaching children about the moon phases. The illustrations are great and the text is not boring. I would recommend this book to teachers, parents, or anyone who has trouble learning the moon phases.

This book is one of the best scientific books for young minds you will ever find. All of the most important physical facts about the moon, the reasons why the shape of the moon cycles over time and the effects it has on Earth are explained. A brief history of lunar exploration is also given. Diagrams are used to provide detail to the explanations and they are colorful without being gaudy. This book is an excellent way for children to learn about the only other heavenly body that has felt the footsteps of humans.

This book is another Gail Gibbons classic. If your child loves things like astronomy (or you want to introduce the Moon to them), this book is for you! My son is 3 and it is able to keep his mind active and engaged but could certainly be enjoyed by children up to 7 or 8 years old. This is done by the author in her classic style (the way I love) of giving great information in a FUN, SIMPLE, and EASY to read way! I would say this would be a great book to introduce in a classroom for teachers K-2 teaching on the subject as well. A WONDERFUL Gail Gibbons option, especially when you can get it on Amazon for a fraction of the price...I paid $5 including shipping!!

This book is great for second language learners who need content information but lack high reading skills.
