Informative and Imaginative

First published in 1959, and reprinted in 1971 and 1973,this wonderful children's book takes a future look at space tourism. Reviewing it in 2004, we have not yet seen a moon station, and organized trips to the moon, but we are beginning to see first space tourism trips, albeit for multi millionaires at the moment. "The moon is up there far away. Would you like to go there? Someday you may". The book teaches young boys and girls about space, the moon and space travel. It traces the trip of a little boy and father in a rocket, with astronauts to an international space station, and then to the moon, with the space suits and everything. Suitable for very young readers, for older readers there are always other details to notice. A wonderful little book for learning and for a journey of the imagination, about a scenario that we may really see in the decades to come.
