If You Decide to Go to the Moon by Faith McNulty and illustrated by Steven Kellogg is an amazing book on moon travel. Combining poetry-like prose with scientific facts, the book draws you in so that you actually experience traveling to the moon and walking on its surface. Combine that with Kellogg’s always-wonderful illustrations and you have pure magic in a book.
Even though this is a picture book, the length of the text makes it better for Kindergarteners and older rather than toddlers and preschoolers. This is the perfect book to hand to parents who want something to read aloud to first and second grade classes, or to teachers in those grades doing space units. Simply wonderful.
