Looks like you've got a good list of books there. You might also want to read Buzz Aldrin's REACHING FOR THE MOON, a picture book autobiography illustrated by Wendell Minor. Minor was one of six artists commissioned by NASA to document the shuttle Discovery's return to flight in 1988.

Welcome to NASA's Johnson Space Center. I hope you and the urchins enjoy your visit.

Good call, Elaine -- the Aldrin book is a good one, and we don't want Buzz to feel left out.

Thanks, Sherry. Just hearing S explain to F how the Apollo missions worked makes me think we're going to have a fantastic time.

Hi Chris,
My son and I love If You Decide to Go to the Moon, by Faith McNulty. It was the last book she finished before she died. It's well written and contains fabulous illustrations by Stephen Kellogg. It was the 2006 winner of the Boston Globe-Horn Book award for nonfiction.
Regards,
Tricia
