by Stacy McAnulty

Reading Level M · Lexile AD510L · ATOS 2.7

Look up! Moon tells, in Moon's own funny voice, how a space rock the size of Mars crashed into baby Earth long ago and how the "crash trash" came together to make Earth's best friend. Along the way Moon explains why we never see Moon's backside, what the phases are, how gravity works and why no cow has ever jumped over Moon, then uses the ocean tides to prove Moon is always there. A fact-filled, laugh-out-loud space read-aloud about Earth and the friend who goes wherever Earth goes.
