Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Gr 1–4—Gibbons knows her stuff when it comes to children's nonfiction. The crisp and informative text is nicely narrated by Chris Lutkin, with gentle background music and occasional sound effects. Listeners will learn about ancient beliefs regarding the moon, the moon's probable origin, its effect on the tides, the various lunar phases, and the history of lunar exploration. Readers will want to have the book in hand for illustrations that expand and explain some of the text. VERDICT This is a winning audiobook and would be a good resource for listening centers for those doing astronomy units. ["Wide in scope and visually appealing, this book will serve pleasure and purposeful readers equally well": SLJ 4/97 review of the Holiday House book.]—Teresa Bateman, Brigadoon Elementary, Federal Way, WA --This text refers to the Audio CD 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. Carolyn Phelan --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.

excellent moon guide for kids

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!

Loved how it explained the phases of the moon with the CORRECT images - those images made perfect sense and really get kids to understand the perspective. I have looked at a number of books on the moon and this was the best for young kids. There are no photographs in here, but the drawings are very well done. Plus there are lots of facts in here which could lead to other lines of study. One page does discuss that ancient people thought the moon was a god - you could skip that page easily if you wanted to.

Beautiful book for moon lovers!

January 8, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I purchased this book as a gift for my 3 year old, who is absolutely enamored with the moon and the sun at her young age. It is a great intro book for young readers interested in the moon, but it is a little mature for my 3 (and 6) year olds to understand fully. I'd say it's great for 7-10 year old readers and older readers , as I will admit I found great interest in the book and learned a lot myself from it...And I'm 36!

The illustrations are clear and vivid, and they held my babies (and my) attention from first to last page. The wording flows easily and isn't overwhelming or extra lengthy...so although my girls didn't understand everything I read, they understood much of it. The book is well made and large, making it easy for smaller hands to hold for interactive reading. I recommend this book for every young astronomer in the making, even younger ones, who will eventually grow to grasp the concepts in the book!

Great book on the Moon for a young mind!

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!!

Great book.

I was surprised at the vocabulary in this book, I bought it for my 5 year old, but it was better for my 8 year old. Very good descriptions and easy to understand, but not for young ones.

Most have for teaching phases of the moon.

November 23, 2014

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This is a wonderful book to use when teaching the phases of the moon. My third grade students really enjoyed it. I first read the whole book aloud, then I broke it into different sections as we learned about the moon.
I also recommend it if you are teaching your students about informational texts. This is just one great example of how an author can present information in different ways.

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!
