This is the Way to the Moon: A Children's Classic

I cannot count the amount of times I've read this to my son. I gave it to him a year ago when he was only 3 and although it's aimed at much older kids he absolutely loves it. He knows most of it by heart! I've learned a few facts too.

A lovely book

Big Miroslav Sasek fan!

Acquistati per mia figlia, trovo questi libri di Sasek ottimamente illustrati con un bellissimo stile retrò, di facile comprensione.Davvero un peccato che le versioni in italiano siano ormai introvabili (quello che ho acquistato usato è stato stampato negli anni '60)

'This is the Way to the Moon' is a delightful, genuinely retro, children's book featuring charming illustrations. Originally published in 1963, with the Space Race forefront in everyone's minds, 'This is the Way to the Moon' has been re-released in a facsimile edition. Minor additions to the original text elaborate on the lunar landings and NASA's space program. Miroslav Sasek's books are delightful. We have several in the collection and enjoy looking through them, absorbing the details of the illustrations, and reading the playful text. While 'This is the Way to the Moon' is not the most current text on space travel, it is likely the most amusing currently in circulation. We love the details of Cocoa Beach and Cape Canaveral, the people in 60's clothing, and the retro color scheme. Beautiful book.
