Eight Days Gone

Young readers will learn the basics about the gear, equipment, and spaceship used by the astronauts, as well as the history of NASA's moon mission. O' Rourke's vibrant and retro illustrations paired with McReynolds' short verse creates a perfect read aloud for preschool and kindergarteners eager to learn about Buzz Aldrin's trip to the moon.
