Moonshot: The Flight of Apollo 11 is a picturebook about the first moon landing. This book features the astronauts getting ready to take off by getting their gear on and then sitting in their sideways seats. It shows all of the machinery and gives details of the rocket's parts. This is a story of adventure and discovery shown from a whole different perspective than young readers are used to.
The illustrations were created by the writer as well, Brian Floca. The pictures are very detailed and keep the readers' attention and compliment the texts very well. The front and back cover have very attention grabbing illustrations as well as information about launching and lift off.
I would suggest this book for students who are seven to eleven years old because that is when children should become more interested in non-fiction books. This non-fiction book is great because although it is very informational, it comes off as a story and is very entertaining for young readers.
