This fascinating book will stay with children every time they gaze up at the night sky. Through vivid pictures and engaging explanations, children will learn about many of the Moon's mysteries: what makes it look like a silvery crescent one time and a chalk-white ball a few nights later, why it sometimes appears in the daytime, where it gets its light, and how scientists can predict its shape on your birthday a thousand years from now. This book is an ideal way to explain the science behind the shape of the Moon and bring about an evening outing no child-or grown-up-will soon forget. Especially designed to be experienced with an adult-be it a parent, teacher, or friend-Next Time You See books serve as a reminder that you don't have to look far to find something remarkable in nature.
