50 years ago, two human beings walked on the moon for the very first time. Help your little readers celebrate the anniversary of this remarkable event in history with two Little Golden Books that are out of this world!
Rocket-bye, Baby, up to the moon.
Nighttime is falling; sleep will come soon.
We’ll climb in the spaceship and that’s where we’ll stay,
snuggled up close as we’re carried away. . . .
Join a mother and her baby as they fly in their own little rocket through a star-filled night sky, past constellations and meteor showers, in this dreamy good-night book. A gentle rhyme and beautiful artwork of stars and planets and mother and child make this a perfect good-night book when the stars come out.
Little ones will learn about the rocket Saturn V, the command module Columbia, and of course the famous lunar lander Eagle, and how they each served to send astronauts into space. Kids will learn who the astronauts were and how they were chosen for the mission. And they’ll learn Neil Armstrong’s unforgettable words in his message back to Earth about this being “one giant leap for mankind.” Fun facts about the astronauts’ space suits and their work in space round out this exciting picture book.
