Moonwalk: The First Trip to the Moon (Step-Into-Reading, Step 5)

Both kids enjoy the book

Moonwalk: The First Trip to the Moon (Step-Into-Reading, Step 5) This is probably a good book for an older child. I am reading to a 4 year old. He needs smaller bites of information which is more directly to the point. This is kind of wordy for us and goes off subject to Jules Verne's book and early crack pot ideas on how to get to the moon. Maybe an older kid would be interested in that anecdotal information. But it doesn't work for us.We read tons of Easy readers. Most of them are very good. Some of the level 4 books are like this one. Lots of good information but too much extra. I wish they would make books on the same subject matter but more at level 2 or 3. Unfortunately all the good informational books are level 4. There is a big leap between level 3 and level 4 books. The difference seems like there should be another level in between these two. We will save this one until he gets older and can appreciate the extra info in it. The first and last chapters are on subject so we read these for now.All that said we still love all these books. I appreciate the levels for learning to read.

I purchased these books (most of the titles in the Step 4 and 5 series) several months ago, but have been giving them out one at a time to my daughter, who is currently in first grade. She loves to read fiction, and has devoured many of the chapter books I've purchased for her or checked out of the library. I was looking for an interesting series of non-fiction books for her, and these seemed like the perfect introduction to the genre.There are lots of illustrations and archival photographs covering the moon launch in 1969. The appeal of this reader lies mainly in the way the information is condensed to suit the needs of young readers - informative, yet not overly descriptive nor steeped in jargon. Also, the illustrations on each page motivate young readers, especially visual learners like my daughter.The Step 5 readers are described as "ready for chapters, grades 2-4", though children who are younger and are at an advanced reading level will find these books interesting and suitably challenging as well.

Perfect reference for a 4th grade presentation on Neil Armstrong. It covered many important topics from his entire life including personal and work. It was a huge benefactor to the success of our daughters presentation.

I purchased this book for students to read and build background knowledge of the Apollo 11 mission. The students enjoyed the book and was an easy read.

Excellent book that is well written and very engaging! The narrative is fast-paced and exciting, and it points out things I'd never considered about the space race. My 5-year-old loves this. I was glad the book didn't go into detail on the tragedy of Apollo 1 or I would have been answering a lot of questions from my son. This author did a fantastic job highlighting the dangers of space travel and capturing the awe-inspiring spirit of everyone watching these men land on the moon. I think I love this book even more than my kid does!

This is a excellent book! My 10 year old loves to read biographies so I buy him new ones all the time with stories about real life people he can look up to. This book is very engaging and he loved reading it. He loved it so much that he would ask to turn the light on in the car at night so that he could read it to me. There is lots of interesting information and things to keep him engaged and I would recommend this to anyone who is looking to have their child read more.

This is a really well written history of the space program in the 1960s, ending with the Apollo 11 mission to the moon. It's a somewhat complicated topic, so even though my five year old has the skills to read the words, this book was a little too heavy to keep her attention for the whole thing. I think it's more appropriate for say 7-9 year olds. That being said, I really enjoyed reading it with her and explaining things along the way. I even picked up some new information myself!

My 6yr old likes it so much! Fast delivery too

Grandson loves this and is learning as well.

The book was informative, but missing the real life pictures that would have made it more interesting for my son.

Buon libricino, esclusivamente per bambini, dove sono spiegate in maniera chiara e semplice le vicende che hanno portato l'uomo sulla luna. Poche pagine, ma visto il costo irrisorio, va bene così. In inglese.

Excellent
