The Moon by Laura Hamilton Waxer


Waxer, Laura Hamilton The Moon 48 pgs. Lerner Publications 2010. PICTURE BOOK $26.60 Did you know that nearly fifty Moons could fit inside Earth? If we wanted to know how far away the Moon was, we would have to imagine a rope that was long enough to wrap around the Earth nine times. If it weren't for Earth's gravity, the Moon would float away like a balloon. This is just a taste of what you can learn about the Moon. This expository text for kids is a fun way to get a lot of information about the Moon. It is divided into small chapters with excellent pictures and diagrams to help explain hard concepts like the phases of the Moon. EL- ESSENTIAL. Anna M, Teacher.
