A behind-the-scenes look at the moon and the space program that led to the Apollo 11 mission that landed a man on the lunar surface. Lavishly illustrated with photographs from NASA’s archives, the book includes a glossary of space terms. Also included: a double-sided poster showing the Lunar Module and Aiming for the Moon. The DVD contains actual footage from the Apollo 11 lunar landing and highlights from later Apollo missions.

Although marketed as a book for young readers, this exceptional volume is sure to intrigue any reader interested in space exploration and the Apollo 11 lunar missions.

Highly recommended. ( )

One more for the science section. Highly informational and engaging, with plenty for readers to explore and interact with and that's not including the interactive DVD.

From liftoff to splashdown, this is the story of our most incredible journey - as you've never seen it before! It is a behind-the-scenes, richly illustrated commemoration of this history-making event.

The DVD contains actual footage from the Moon landing as well as highlights from later Apollo missions.
