Initally, I LOVED this book, however after further research I learned that the information in the book was incorrect in many aspects.

Initially, I hated this book. Then, I found out that most of the information was incorrect...I loved it.

Picture book choice
I like this book because it's not just about the moon landing, but about a regular boy's dream, and the author brings the reader back to this as it's thinking point at the end. Being this is the point, we get a good summary of Neil Armstrong's young life and moon landing without all the what it takes to be an astronaut information. I would like to see this with more dramatic illustrations rather than the pale watercolors used. It's probably better for young independent r More...

i think this is a really good, small , lots of information about neil armstrong book.
this is a book about neil armstrong and about his life and how he got the passion of being a airplane driver and then an astronaut.
i recommend this to people who are wanting to do some of their biographies in their 13 book orange sheet

This is a great picture book biography of Neil Armstrong. It's really well done. Very approachable and easy to understand. It makes Neil Armstrong into a very easily identifiable character with a spirit for adventure that children will like. Don Brown is top of the line in the children's biography market.

I wish there were more books like this: what a curious child did with his interests, and it turned into something amazing.
