The simple, sparse rhyming text in this picture book about the first American landing on the moon in 1969 is utterly perfect for the littlest readers. It tells the entire story of the Michael Collins, Neil Armstrong, and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin's successful trip. The clean, clear illustrations are a brilliant complement to the story. McReynolds and O'Rourke are a fantastic team on this one.
An excerpt:
Swiftly speeding.
Earth ahead.
Ship arriving.
News is spread.
Ocean splashdown.
Heroes seen.
Helicopter.
Quarantine.
This is another great holiday season buy. Everyone loves the moon!
