Mostly my collection is non-fiction but there have to be exceptions to everything. This is a wonderful children's book about taking a trip to the moon.
Reichert, E.C.. Illustrated by Bilder, A.K. Space Ship to the Moon. Chicago: Rand McNally and Co. (27 pp.) 20 cm.

I also like how the art reminds of of a "Dick and Jane" book with everyday child
ren having an adventure.
ren having an adventure.The other illustrations I like include exploring the moon and walking to the "moon dome. An inexpensive visual treat and worth seeking out.
