review:
'When We Walked on the Moon: Discover the dangers, disasters, and triumphs of every moon mission' by David Long with illustrations by Sam Kalda is a book for young readers that talks about the space race, then every Apollo mission afterward.

Starting with a few pages about the space race, the book quickly gets in to the amazing Apollo missions. Mission details, who the astronauts were, and what they thought are all highlights. The dangers and problems are also there. So are the sentimental things, like Charlie Duke leaving a photo of his family on the moon for future explorers to find.

I recently read a similar book for young readers, but this book really brought out the wonder of discovery, and finishes with a chapter on the legacy as well as what is next. The illustrations are nice and the book ends with bios of all the astronauts featured.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Quarto Publishing Group - Wide Eyed Editions, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
