(3) K-3 Illustrated by Terry Fan & Eric Fan. This accessible autobiographical narrative inspired by Canadian astronaut Hadfield's childhood focuses primarily on the summer of 1969, the year "real, live astronauts" walked on the moon. Seeing the televised moon landing alleviates young aspiring astronaut Chris's fear of the dark. Evocative, detailed pencil illustrations colored digitally convey the compelling nighttime setting. Biographical information, a note from Hadfield, and NASA photographs are appended.
Reviewer: Sheila M. Geraty
