Reviews for Luna Muna

[jfe16 · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

If you had your birthday party on the moon, all your friends would ride a rocket to get there and, since a day on the moon is almost a month long in earth time, everyone would have lots of time to do all sorts of amazing things, like bouncing over the lunar surface and making moon angels. Or, how about playing scavenger, searching for the things the Apollo astronauts left behind? Will you still be able to see the boot prints astronauts left in the dusty lunar soil? Could you find an American flag? How about space boots? Or a moon buggy? Can you find a four-leaf clover and a falcon feather?In this informative, yet delightful, picture book, young readers who blast off for this exciting extraterrestrial celebration will learn many moon and space facts as they take rocket rides and collect space rocks for party favors. Colorful illustrations, sidebars, a glossary, selected bibliography, and suggestions for further reading all extend the science learning. The information boxes extend the STEM-supporting information and, just to complete the adventure, there are links to watch the astronauts moonwalk and one to join NASA’s Kids’ Club. A perfect book for all readers, young and old, interested in space exploration, the moon, and/or science.Highly recommended.
