APOLLO 11 Q & A: 175+ FASCINATING FACTS FOR KIDS by Kelly Milner Halls

 

I can't believe how much I learned from this new release by author Kelly Milner Halls. It is filled with fun facts that follow the Apollo 11 mission from start to finish.

The Space Race between the United States and the Soviet Union helped fuel our nation's desire for space travel. Today we watch and marvel at the modern attempts to explore more and more of our universe, but it is easy to forget the early missions that got us to the present. This book presents facts in a Q & A format to highlight everything from early spacesuits and astronaut preparation to descending on the moon and the moon walk, to the return journey and recovery. 

The addition of colorful pictures and "Did You Know" facts make this great for reading cover to cover or perfect for reading as short passages. Anyone interested in space travel history will want to get their hands on a copy.

Thank you to the publisher for this review copy.
