Team Moon: How 400,000 People Landed Apollo 11 on the Moon
Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2006 Sibert Medal
This weekend, I accompanied a cub scout camp out at NASA. The boys had so many questions about space, space flight, and the various missions. I found myself recommending this book to them and their parents over and over again. The book chronicles the Apollo 11 mission to the moon by showing all the work that went into building the rocket, capsule and limb; into the planning and training for the mission. The book has authentic photographs and quotes from players at all stages. The power of teamwork in achieving a goal is just important a theme of this book as learning about space flight. A great book for kids and adults alike to learn more about what is involved in traveling to the moon.
