What the Moon Is Like (1963)

 

Happy 2023, this book is 60 years old this year and still seems as fresh as ever since we are exploring the Moon again.

What the Moon is Like is another book by the children's science writer Franklyn Branley. He wrote many children's non-fiction books with a variety of illustrators. This one is a particular favorite of mine for its simplicity and style. I have reused Xeroxes from this book for a couple of clip-art projects. If you are a fan of book design you should hunt this one down.
