I want to go to the moon / Words and music by Tom Saunders Illustrated by Cynthia Nugent



I Want To Go to The Moon by Tom Saunders


This book is about young Neil that wants to go to moon his whole life. It is based on a true story about Neil Armstrong: The first man to set foot on the moon. I think this was a great book and that it written for all ages.

 I loved the story because it was uplifting and tells a good message on following your dream and the dream God has put in your heart. This book was written in poetry form and has a CD that comes with it that sings the story (At least mine did).

I loved the illustrations because they were cartoony yet detailed and very pleasant. I think they really combined well with the story.

  1. Hi Jonah, you are doing really well with your reviews. Our group have been away this week to France on a school trip so will start blogging again next week. I will look at the two books you have reviewed first when I go back to Notre Dame next Tuesday and let you know what I think.

    What are you planning to read next?

    We too think this story has a good message on following your dreams and never giving up. Also we like how it is set on a true story.
