One Giant Leap: A Historical Account of the First Moon Landing

Kids loved the book. We read it for our One Giant Leap leap day.

This is an engaging, lovely illustrated book ...especially if you're needing a story geared for both genders. Some of the best stories are more engaging for the girls, this seems to be great for boys. It is geared for the older child. The text portions, accurate and historic are a little dry to entertain the pre-K crowd....and that IS afterall how it's written. But it is a super book for the story of the magnificent Armstrong/Aldrin feat! A wonderful segway: "you CAN do anything" if you really, really, really work hard at it!

This book is a great introduction to the Apollo 11 mission for kids. My eight-year-old boy and nine-year-old girl enjoyed it; the illustrations are stunning and the book isn't too information-laden that it seemed like schoolwork. Still my son was able to recite numerous facts about the Apollo 11 mission at the book's end. Great contribution to our library.

This is a great book for introducing kids to the moon landing. Great text and illustrations.

Love the pictures and how BIG the book is...that helps me get & keep the attention of my students.

My space obsessed three year old loves this story and talks about Buzz and Neil all the time!

I know a good book when it is chosen repeatedly by the same children over and over. That is what makes it a wise purchase too! The illustrations are fabulous and the faces and expressions of the astronauts give the children a personal introduction to the first men on the moon. They are friends to know and remember in this book!

My daughter really enjoyed this book.

It made a teenager who is interested in Soave travel.

Looks good a d bought as a gift. I didn't read it.

I bought this along with the moon landing for a school project my grandson was doing about famous people. It was a good reference book with pop up pages for the rocket and he really enjoyed learning about Neil Armstrong and the others on the first moon landing

Bought this for the book corner for a year 5 class. Nicely presents non-fiction book.

good non fiction book for a child age 8+?
