Reviews for The Moon Book
5 ratings9 reviews
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The moon is a fascinating fixture in our sky, and this book proves it. The colorful illustrations and exciting facts about the moon makes this book great, and most likely the most ideal moon book to share with a class when going over a solar system theme in the classroom. The science of the moon can be complex but the text of this moon book makes it easy to understand. Everything from the earliest history of the moon, the tides, the shadows of the moon, and Neil Armstrong is covered. A young child will never think that the moon is just simply the sun after it's flames go out again.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Nice, like all Gail Gibbons' books, but somehow inaccurate in its description of the geometry of eclipses. Very pleasant nonetheless.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great informational book to use to teach about the moon. It incorporates many visual context clues,and definitions about the solar system.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I loved this book for many reasons. One reason is that it is bursting with new facts and information for children who may be interested in the moon or children who never knew they may be interested in the moon. Along with this the illustrations of the solar system were amazing. I feel this type of book would inspire a student to keep learning.The big idea of the book was to inform and excite students about the moon, planets, stars, etc.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I liked this book for three reasons. One of the reasons why I liked this book was because of the illustrations. I liked how there were words on them to give the children a better understanding of what the book is talking about. Another reason I liked the illustrations was because of the colors that were used and how it showed the light and dark parts of the earth and moon. Also, I thought that the use of the illustrations showing the different phases of the moon was visually pleasing and I think children would understand it a lot. Another thing that I found was interesting was the plot. I'm twenty and I still thought this was interesting. I liked that it told us how the moon was formed and that it is basically just rock and debris from something that happened a really long time ago. Finally, I really liked the extra things that they added to this book. I thought adding a project, the moon milestones, legend, stories, and facts would draw the reader in and catch their attention a lot more than a regular book would. I thought the big idea of this book was to basically just have a better understanding of the moon and that it isn't just something that lights up our night sky.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I've never been very interested in outer space before, but this informational book was able to catch my interest and make me want to learn more about it. Therefore, in my opinion, this book would be great for kids who want to learn more about space. One reason I like this book is how many diagrams and graphics there are to represent what the text is saying. Usually in informational books, the text gets boring and makes you sleepy, but with this one, it holds your interest.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Summary: This is a book about the phases of the moon, the many things the moon affects and the way the moon rotates around the earth. There is a great deal of vocabulary introduced in this book such as solar and lunar eclipse as well as the many specific stages of the moon such as Gibbous Moon, as well as waxing and waning moon. Personal Reaction: I love this book about the moon. The author uses very colorful illustrations that include projects on how you can better see things such as a solar eclipse. The author takes what can be a confusing concept and breaks it down with both detailed descriptions and illustrations to help paint a clear picture of the moon phases for students.Classroom Extension: 1.This is a great introduction to any study of the moon. Students would get an overall glimpse of what they will be learning. Each aspect of the book could be broken down into part of the study. Students could plot the course of the moon throughout the month drawing illustrations of what the moon looked like. This could be done by having them look at the moon each evening or using the newspaper the next day that gives descriptions of the moons location in the weather section. 2.Students could use the example from the book to make a solar eclipse viewer if there is a solar eclipse during that period of time. 3.Students could use the information in the book to plot out the distance between the sun and the earth and draw this out using sidewalk chalk on the playground or basketball court. This would have to be sized to scale so math would also be incorporated in this activity.4.A good book to pair with the study of the moon would be Anansi which descirbes how the moon was placed in the sky according the African legend. Students could look for other tales about the moon.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This book is a great tool to intergrate science facts and vocabulary into the class.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5•The Moon Book is a nonfiction book that tells facts, details and lore about the moon. Linguistically, this book is cohesively organized. The information is presented not as a story, but as a sort of guidebook to the moon’s discovery, function, phases, exploration, and folklore. The tense is timeless present, except when referring to events in history that are relevant to the moon’s existence. There is technical vocabulary associated with the phases of the moon and its station and activity in relation to Earth. The illustrations are clear and include captions, diagrams, maps, and labels.
