First on the Moon: What It Was Like when Man Landed on the Moon

48 pp. | Hyperion | July, 1999 | Trade ISBN 0-7868-0489-0 $$16.99

(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Greg Ruhl. This story of the Apollo moon landing tells of both the historic space flight and the feelings of eleven-year-old Jan Aldrin as she watches events from Earth and waits for her father's return. Illustrated with color photographs and perhaps unnecessary original artwork, this cogent introduction is given added interest by supplying a child's perspective. A time line is included. Bib., glos.
