A playful account of the formation of the moon, from her point of view.

Good nonfiction picture book ( )

“Look up!” calls the Moon. “I’m Earth’s rock, her best friend.”
So begins this delightful story of Earth’s very own satellite, the Moon. The Moon tells the reader all about herself, about the way she moves, about her phases, about her effects on the Earth, and so much more.

Following the narrative, readers will find a short, friendly quiz about the Moon, some interesting Moon facts, and a bibliographical source list.

This young reader picture book will delight children interested in the moon and space exploration. It is the third in the Our Universe series, following "Sun" and "Earth."

The Barnes and Noble Special Edition includes an original art print that can be framed and hung on the child’s wall.

Highly recommended. ( )
