A cute story where moon watches humans make technological advancements, leading up to the moment where they arrive and exchange gifts.

Note: I accessed a digital review copy of this book through Edelweiss. ( )

The "historical" illustrations presented the same Eurocentric view we see everywhere else - that disappointed me ( )

For many, many years, the moon has watched the Earth from her home high in the sky. She’s wished to have someone from Earth visit her, for she is lonely. But no one comes. Will she ever have a visitor?

This Adult-Directed picture book, for children ages four through eight, will delight both young readers and their parents with its enchanting friendship message. Charming illustrations accompany the text; information about the moon, the Apollo 11 flight, spacesuits, and the Saturn V rocket follows the story.

The publisher provides an online Educator Guide for grades one through three; the Barnes and Noble special edition of the book includes a special bonus moon poster printed on the inside of the book jacket.

Highly recommended. ( )
