Book Guide

From Earth you can see the man in the Moon. But only twelve people have actually seen the Moon up close.

These people-the twelve astronauts who went to the Moon-took pictures, brought back rocks and dust, walked on the Moon, and rode in their Moon car. They found out there is no air or water, no animal or human life on the Moon. Because of the astronauts' trips, we know a lot about what the Moon is really like.

First published in 1963 before the Apollo Moon landings, WHAT THE MOON IS LIKE has been completely revised, reillustrated, and updated to interest and inform today's young readers.
