A review by amysutton
If You Were the Moon by Laura Purdie Salas

4.0

The illustrations and storyline were so sweet! This is about a little girl who wants to be like the moon so the moon explains all that it does for the earth, including controlling the tides, helping nocturnal animals, keeping the earth's orbit from being too wobbly, inspiring art, and helping with agriculture. There are little paragraphs of science on each page to go along with the story, and I loved that heightened vocabulary was used, but it was explained well. This would be a great resource for lower elementary classrooms learning about space science.


I received a copy of this ebook from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
