The Moon

by Laura Hamilton Waxman
Lerner Publications, 2010
The simple, straightforward text in this easy chapter book may be too dry and lengthy for very young children, but it offers clear, solid information for interested readers. Topics covered include the moon’s place in our solar system, its orbit and rotation, its phases, its terrain, and its effect on Earth’s tides. Attractively presented, the book features a large photo or scientific illustration on every page. A helpful glossary with pronunciation guide is also included.
