Max Goes to the Moon is a science adventure story
featuring a dog named Max and a young girl named Tori. Through their quest
to travel to the Moon, Max and Tori inspire people back on Earth with
a love of adventure and a new respect for our fragile home planet. The
beautifully illustrated story is accompanied by "Big Kid Boxes"
that explain the science behind the story, covering topics such as the
phases of the Moon, why spaceships don't need wings, and how a Frisbee
would fly on the Moon. The boxes can be read by older children or used
by parents to answer questions from younger readers.
