Reviews

Grade 2-3This revision of the 1963 edi tion reports on the Apollo program and its findings. Instances of stridency ("The Moon is a dead world. It has never had living things on it. It is dead, lifeless and colorless") and oversimpli fication ("There is no water anywhere on the Moon"probable but not prov en) aside, this is a good first introduc tion to the subject, neither too technical nor diluted to blandness. The illustra tions combine a few unimpressive pho tos (they're poorly exposed, or not well reproduced, or both) with a new set of simple, clear, uncluttered drawings, in cluding a map showing the Apollo land ing sites. As with other books in the series, Branley avoids superficiality by severely limiting his topic. Use this to replace the old edition or to supplement more general titles.John Peters, New York Public Library
