Moon Kids
Space chapter books about three kids who live on the Moon.
NASA is going back to the Moon, and every kid who sees it on the news asks the same question: what would it be like to live up there? Moon Kids answers it through three kids who already do.
Alma, Leo and Noa live at Artemis Base Camp, the first human home on the lunar surface, near the Moon's South Pole. Their parents are astronauts, engineers and scientists. Each chapter is a short, funny adventure with one real idea about the Moon inside it, so young readers learn the science without a lecture.
12 printable space puzzles for ages 6-10: mazes, secret codes, logic puzzles and Moon math, with an answer key.
