Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Gr. 3^-5. Rounding out the publisher's series of First Books on the solar system, this volume presents the moon. The discussion includes such topics as legend, superstition, early scientific observations, the moon's phases and eclipses, the gravitational affects of the earth on the moon and those of the moon on the earth, lunar exploration in manned and unmanned spacecraft, and the lessons learned from moon rocks. Clear, effective illustrations, most in color, appear throughout the book. Appendices include a summary sheet of facts and figures, a glossary, a bibliography, and a list of Web sites. A good resource for science collections. Carolyn Phelan --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

This review is from: The Moon (First Book) (Library Binding)

The Moon by Carmen Bredeson is a very precise bookon the moon. It tells you the precise history and what people thought of the moon hundreds of years ago and also today. Carmen also talks about some little details about the moon. For example, I learned that the moon causes high and low tides! It is a great book for moon studiers too.
