Exceptional information on the space race and rocket science history in general. Can’t wait to see more titles in this Big Ideas series since it seems everything Don Brown produces is amazingly great quality work.

This is a terrific graphic novel about the beginnings of the space program. The loose graphic style of the book will entice many readers to learn about man's first forays into outer space. I think the elementary and middle school kids are going to like this one a lot!

I love the idea of this book. The content ends up falling flat and losing the interest of the kids though. I am not sure if it because of lacking color or the information is not engaging enough.

Our 8 year old loves graphic novels and he loves non-fiction books and this was a great mix of both. The comic strip style narration kept his attention while also giving him lots of awesome and informative facts about the moon landing. The history of rocket building was especially interesting to him and he loved referring to the timeline at the end of the book. Not only was this fun to read but he learned a lot! Thank you to NetGalley and ABRAMS Kids for gifting us a copy of this book. All opinions are our own.

This is my first Brown Book, but it will not be my last! Rocket to the moon! takes us back in time to when we, of course, landed on the moon, but in such a fresh and fun way! I was literally sharing interest facts with my husband as I read through this comic-like children’s book! Such as the shuttle held 950,000 gallons of fuel and used up 500,000 gallons of it within the first two and a half minutes! Wow! That is awesome!.
The illustrations were wonderful and I loved everything about the book! I am impressed!
Thank you so much ABRAMS Kids and NetGalley for this advanced copy. My opinions are my own.
This will definitely be featured on my blog! Expect to see it Monday December 3, 2018.
