LONGLISTED FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD

This beautifully illustrated, oversized guide to the people and technology of the moon landing by award-winning author/illustrator John Rocco (illustrator of the Percy Jackson series) is a must-have for space fans, classrooms, and tech geeks.

Everyone knows of Neil Armstrong's famous first steps on the moon. But what did it really take to get us there?

The Moon landing is one of the most ambitious, thrilling, and dangerous ventures in human history. This exquisitely researched and illustrated book tells the stories of the 400,000 unsung heroes--the engineers, mathematicians, seamstresses, welders, and factory workers--and their innovations and life-changing technological leaps forward that allowed NASA to achieve this unparalleled accomplishment.

From the shocking launch of the Russian satellite Sputnik to the triumphant splashdown of Apollo 11, Caldecott Honor winner John Rocco answers every possible question about this world-altering mission. Each challenging step in the space race is revealed, examined, and displayed through stunning diagrams, experiments, moments of crisis, and unforgettable human stories.

Explorers of all ages will want to pore over every page in this comprehensive chronicle detailing the grandest human adventure of all time

Cute story and good advice!
Format: Hardcover
A really good book! Both parents and baby like this one. It’s a unique book, but one that has a great rhythm and story. Simple and good advice for once baby can understand better. And cute pictures for when they can’t.

Teaching Manners
Format: Hardcover
I love this sweet book that teaches a child manners in a gentle way. Polite Elephant is always kind and respectful. I loved reading this book to my own child years ago and have purchased it many times for others. Plus who doesn’t love Richard Scarry books?

Our kitty cat obsessed baby’s favorite book
Format: Board book
This is our favorite baby book, we read it every day. My 18 month old is obsessed with “kitty cats” and this is the perfect book for her. I got it for her at 15 months. She loves the illustrations, its colorful and cute. The book itself is great quality, it’s sturdy and feels nice to the touch.

Great gift option.
Format: Board book
I gave this book as a gift to some good friends who are expecting a baby, and they loved it. The quality is good, the cover is hardcover, and the printing is clear with nice colors. It's very cute because they have similar kittens, and their baby will surely love it.
