Sort of a children's book and sort of something else...
The "Panorama" books were a series of books that had additional media attached. Included with this book were 2 cards containing 32 (6 x 14 mm) slides of the illustrations, (that worked only on a "Panorama" slide projector) and a 33 1/3 (20 min.)photograph record narrating the story. The narration for this particular book was by Walter Cronkite.
The book consisted of a short introduction to space flight and then 32 pages where each page describes a different stage of a trip to the moon represented by the illustration.
