From
Author/Illustrator Rob Hodgson—When Moon Became the Moon
Moon shares the
story of her origin and her many aspects in a lively conversational narrative.
The light-hearted text succeeds in imparting an abundance of scientific detail
in language that is easily accessible to youthful audiences.
The content is
organized into brief chapters featuring colorful, cartoon-style illustrations
that offer visual emphasis for the narrative points. The entire book employs an
entertaining and whimsical tone that is evident even in the chapter headings
where Hodgson inserts a chapter 5 ½ into the list. Chapters 1-5 ½ take a
chronological look at Sun, Earth, Baby Moon, Orbit, Craters, and Moon Today.
Chapters 6-11 explore a variety of lunar features titled: Light, Moon Phases,
Moon Helps Earth, Solar Eclipse, Visitors, and The Future.
For ages 3-5.
Recommended for
aspiring young astronomers at home and in classrooms.
