Go For the Moon: A Rocket, A Boy, and the First Moon Landing by Chris Gall. NONFICTION PICTURE BOOK. Roaring Brook (Macmillan), 2019. $20. 9781250155795
BUYING ADVISORY: EL - ESSENTIAL
AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH
A young boy follows the journey of the Apollo 11 astronauts on their trip to the Moon.
Gall’s illustrations are so gorgeous! He hasn’t written very many picture books and that is a total shame! This one interweaves the true story of Apollo 11 with the fictional story of the boy and includes a treasure trove of facts about rocketry and the mission. Space-minded kids will love it!
