Descrição da editora
From writer Stacy McAnulty and illustrator Stevie Lewis, Moon! Earth's Best Friend is a light-hearted nonfiction picture book about the formation and history of the moon—told from the perspective of the moon itself.
Meet Moon! She's more than just a rock—she’s Earth’s rock, her best friend she can always count on. Moon never turns her back on her friend (literally: she's always facing Earth with the same side!). These two will stick together forever. With characteristic humor and charm, Stacy McAnulty channels the voice of Moon in this next celestial "autobiography" in the Our Universe series. Rich with kid-friendly facts and beautifully brought to life by Stevie Lewis, this is an equally charming and irresistible companion to Earth! My First 4.54 Billion Years and Sun! One in a Billion.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In a companion to Sun! One in a Billion, an anthropomorphic Moon rendered by Lewis as a friendly figure with doe eyes and a sweet smile announces that it is BFF's with Earth (an equally affable figure who shows its appreciation for Moon with a tender half hug). "We have been together since the beginning. Almost," Moon begins. It describes how it came into existence (from a giant impact with "baby Earth"), explains the moon's phases, and details the way that gravity "pulling on Earth's oceans" causes the tides. Moon provides facts about itself and about various planets and their moons, while clearing up misconceptions and myths (it doesn't go away during the day, and cows don't jump over it). McAnulty conveys complex concepts in a gentle, clear manner that provides readers with a solid foundation for learning more about the galaxy. Ages 4 8.
