Because the moon revolves around Earth, it seems to grow and shrink. Children can read about the phenomena of the moon’s phases and with an experiment using an orange, a pencil, and a flashlight, they can see why the moon looks different at different times of the month. ‘A welcome addition to science collections for young children.’ —SLJ.

The Moon Seems to Change,

This review is from: The Moon Seems to Change (Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science 2) (Paperback)
I am a second grade teacher and this book enriched our textbook wonderfully. The illustrations and text were easy for the children to understand (and even taught me a few things as well!) We read several of Franklyn M. Branley's books during our year, but this one seems to be a class favorite.

This review is from: The Moon Seems to Change (Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science 2) (Paperback)
It really helps the young inquiring mind learn about the moon. My almost 5 year old always wants this read. Also it tells you how to do a demonstration to show younger kids why the moon looks the way it does, why it changes. I'm glad we got this book!

The Moon is priceless!,

This review is from: The Moon Seems to Change (Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science 2) (Paperback)
This is an awesome book that can be used in the classroom when studying space, planets, and the solar system. As a huge object in the sky, the moon sparks a lot of curiosity and this book helps children understand more about it.
