From John F. Kennedy's speech to sending up fruit flies and finally landing on the moon, this beautifully illustrated, fact-filled read is told as a children's story designed to engage, educate, and entertain the reader. This book is a very patriotic and gentle approach to introducing the young reader to the amazing engineering achievements set by America and how the Americans went on to win the great moon race by being the first to walk on the moon. Historically accurate, this is a must have for all budding astronauts.
