Nice book, but totally for YOUNG child. by Catherine E. Wetzler (Conowingo, MD USA) 2 Stars
January 09, 2009
I bought this book out of desperation because I can't find a book that is just about the moon--most books have about one page with little detail, then all the rest is other planets or other astronomy topics. I was rather disappointed that contrary to other reviews, this was basically a very young child's book with very little information about the moon. Nice pictures, but that's not what I was looking for. I'll be giving this to someone's kid.
