Last weekend I went book hunting at an estate sale and even though I didn't find any RDCBs, I did come away with a few beauties. Case in point, here's Astronauts on the Moon, The Story of the Apollo Moon Landings. And best of all, it's a pop-up book!!
Open up the first page and...
3...2...1...liftoff!
Once they get close to the moon, two of the astronauts climb through the tunnel connecting the command module with the lunar module and get ready to land.
But poor Buzz has to stay in the command module all by himself and wonder why he drew the short straw.
Gently, gently the lunar module settles into the gray dust.
The astronauts go exploring and send bags of moon rocks back to their ship.
Later, after docking with the command module, the astronauts head for home, launch the service module and land with a splat in the Pacific Ocean.
And they're home.
I have a feeling this book is going to be a favorite when future grandkids come along!
