The Moon Over Star by Dianna Hutts Aston

This was a great book to teach children about the journey to the moon. It shows that this was a huge accomplishment for mankind and how it affected the lives of everyone. I liked how the author decided to repeat the year almost every other page so that the date would be locked in the reader's mind after finishing the book.
I liked how the book showed both sides of the opinions of the American people. The granddaughter was so excited about landing on the moon, while her grandfather thought that it was a waste of time. He didn't think that we should spend the money on this. It shows how there are differing opinions even in the homes of members of the same family.
The illistrations were very detailed and helped the text show what was going on in the story.
