One Small Step: Celebrating the First Men on the Moon

Jerry Stone, . . Roaring Brook/Flash Point, $24.95 (0pp) ISBN 978-1-59643-491-2

Packed with interactive components, this tribute to the Apollo 11 mission is a mock scrapbook penned by a 12-year-old space enthusiast. Moon memorabilia include images from vintage sci-fi magazines, postcards, newspaper clippings and numerous photos and diagrams. Throughout, the boy's notes serve as image captions: “The astronauts set up an American flag on the moon. This was not an attempt to claim the Moon, but was a tribute to the people whose efforts had led to the landing,” he explains in the photo of Buzz Aldrin. Fans of the Ologies series and other interactive titles who have an affinity for all things space-related will appreciate the featured relics. Ages 6–10. (Apr.)
