This is an interesting, well-formatted book that will appeal to older elementary schoolers and tweens. The layout is really appealing with a cool space vibe. It has a nice mix of science facts and fun facts to keep kids interested.

Thank you for the ARC. I will purchase for my library.

I might look it but I'm certainly not old enough to remember the pre-Apollo days, when we had the anticipation of getting to the Moon. At last we seem to have the successor, the Artemis project to have a station in lunar orbit and shuttles from there to the surface. But it doesn't seem to have the press, the expectation, the dramatic possibility of what came before, that would help make a generation of children and more look up to space and wonder about jobs and life and exploring there. This book helps, by telling us all a primary school audience would want to know, but it's awkward to see the merit of this when the subject is, frankly, a touch too iffy. We get the gen on how all this is supposed to play out, but that "all this" is not much – just a few expeditions and that's it, the budget's gone. Yay, the lunar walkers will no longer just be white men, but that's not enough. Still, as part of a set of colourful books about similar space projects past and future this is a success. But seeing as the last thing about moon launches that we could enthuse over was Wallace and Gromit, this might not be such a brilliantly urgent purchase.
