Unwrapping Some Illustrations 

The Book

This beautifully illustrated book with acrylic drawings teaches kids about the moon's different phases in an easy understandable way.  It highlights the origin of moonlight and the effect the moon has on the Earth's tides.  It shares with the reader how the moon circles around the earth and why only parts of the moon are exposed during that journey. 

The beauty and wonderment of the moon in the night sky is an experience shared across cultures and continents.  It points out the science behind the twenty-nine-day lunar cycle and the moon's four phases:  crescent, quarter, full, and new. 

This book would be a great addition not only in a home setting but also in a classroom and elementary school library.  The author has added experiments and other information at the end of the book which add to the richness of this non-fiction book.  I highly recommend it.
