Moonwalk Summary

Moonwalk: The Story of the Apollo 11 Moon Landing by David Jenkins

Written for children, but with parents very much in mind, this book tells the Apollo 11 story through the medium of artist Adrian Buckley's atmospheric imagery. From President Kennedy's call to put a man on the moon to the celebratory ticker tape parade in Manhattan, this is a story of three extraordinary men and their incredible achievement: Mission Commander Neil Armstrong, Lunar Module Pilot Edwin Buzz Aldrin and Command Module Pilot Michael Collins. On 21 July 1969, when Neil Armstrong opened the hatch in the Lunar Module and descended the ladder to set foot on the surface of the Moon, he became in an instant the greatest traveller in human history. Full of period detail and fascinating insights, this is a book to be explored and enjoyed.

Moonwalk Reviews

Gr 2-4-Jenkins and Buckley bring their expertise in art and architecture to this retelling of the Apollo 11 mission... Jenkins, an architect, provides readers with details of the engineering involved in creating the vessel... Readers will gain an appreciation for how delicate this mission was... successfully mixes the realism of photography with a 20th-century newspaper vibe... This fast, exciting read is sure to resonate with budding explorers and is an artful addition to robust science collections.--School Library Journal
