Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 1-3?The moon sails regally over darkened lawns and houses in Gibbons's simple, bright paintings with brief, precisely worded explanations running beneath the artwork. Primary readers will find, in just the right amount of detail, answers to their questions about our planet's closest natural companion: its origins and phases, what causes tides and eclipses, the people and spacecraft that have been sent there, and even some of the stories and beliefs it has inspired. The author includes directions for making a simple solar eclipse viewer and finishes with a chronology, a sampling of moon legends and lore, and a page of additional facts. Wide in scope and visually appealing, this book will serve pleasure and purposeful readers equally well.?John Peters, New York Public Library
Copyright 1997 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

From Booklist

Gr. 2^-4, younger for reading aloud. This fully illustrated introductory book offers young children information about the moon: its orbit and phases, its place in solar and lunar eclipses, its effect on Earth's oceans, moon exploration, and the legends the moon has inspired in various cultures. Written clearly yet without too much detail, the text moves along quickly. The pictures and diagrams deserve study, as they help readers visualize such concepts as how the moon moves in relation to the earth and the sun and why it seems to change shape. Gibbons uses a spacious format to vary page layout, presenting each facet of the moon's story with a large illustration or a series of smaller ones. Her colorful pictures of people observing the moon seem all the more brilliant against backgrounds of midnight blue. A fine resource for school and public library collections.

excellent moon guide for kids

Bysnazzmoon August 19, 2014

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I got this book to go with the Uncle Milton Moon in My Room, and I'm glad I did. The moon toy is a light-up moon that hangs on the wall and lights up with a remote control. I use this book as a bedtime storybook along with the 'moon' on the wall, to teach my grandson about phases of the moon, tides, satellites, and the solar system, eclipses and other stuff. We also read the book when we look at the real moon through our telescope. It's easy to understand, visually appealing, and interesting.

Great book on the Moon for a young mind!

ByKatieon September 9, 2011

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

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!!

MY 5 AND 3 YEAR OLDS ARE TELLING ME WHAT PHASE THE MOON IS IN. Correctly, I might add. I bought it to accompany the Moon in my Room toy and we don't have the toy up yet but they have te moon to look at every night so it's been a great educational enterainment for my outdoorsy book loving boys!

My five year old LOVED learning about the moon from this book. I'm going to order a new one since it fell apart from being taken EVERYWHERE with him.

A classic from a classic

ByAmazon Customeron July 14, 2014

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

This is a classic from a classic, wonderful author and illustrator. Gail Gibbons has many books that explain things like pumpkins, apples, and the moon. I recommend any of her books. They can be used with the youngest child, and then with the older child.
