Great Easy Reader on the Topic of the US Landing on the Moon,
By
This review is from: Spacebusters: The Race to the Moon (School & Library Binding)
Reason for Reading: Read aloud to ds as part of our history curriculum.This is the first time I've read a non-fiction book about space/astronauts to ds. He's looked at space books before and shown no over enthusiasm towards the topic. But he was absolutely riveted with this book! He listened intently to every word I read. I think he's really going to enjoy the rest of our little space unit. This book focuses only on the US side of the space race thus including those words in the title is a misnomer as the book is only about the US space program. It starts with the launching of Apollo 11 and tells the story of the first landing on the moon in a brief but detailed account for this reading level. It also talks about the men involved and where they are now. Written in an engaging narrative, with DK's always brilliant photography; this is an entertaining introduction to the moon landing. A new edition is being published at the beginning of 2012 so you might want to wait for that edition to see if there is any update to the material. This current edition I read (1998) gives a summary page which goes up to the Hubble Telescope, space stations and questions whether astronauts on Mars may be next.

By A Customer
This review is from: Spacebusters: The Race to the Moon (School & Library Binding)
Alan's Greatest Book EverOctober 10,2002 Spacebusters is the very best book I have ever read. It is the true story about the first people on the moon! Once you read this book, even if you read it a thousand times, it will still surprise you This book takes me out of this world. I learned a lot from this book, like did you know what Neil Armstrong described the moon as? So if you like space and are interested in history, I recommend this book to you!
