"This wonderful book retells our story vividly. I should know; I was there."
— Buzz Aldrin
Trace the history of people's fascination with the moon — and the scientific developments that led to a ground-breaking mission — in an out-of-this-world novelty book marking the first moon landing. Acclaimed author Richard Platt focuses on humankind's dreams of traveling to the moon, the race to conquer space, the technology needed to reach the moon and sustain the astronauts in space, and the moon landing itself. Re-creating the excitement of the expedition are extraordinary pop-ups depicting a rocket, the lunar module, a spaceship, and a spectacular spherical moon, while booklets and flaps offer readers a wealth of intriguing facts.
* Published in anticipation of the fortieth anniversary of the first moon landing on July 20, 1969
* Features official NASA photographs, two mini-books, and fun informational flaps

Richard Platt (15 April 1953) is a British writer of nonfiction and information books and multimedia works. Platt was born in Northumberland, England. He started writing when aged 27 with how-to articles and books about photography. By 1992 he had begun writing non-fiction books for children, initially collaborating with Stephen Biesty in a successful series that capitalized on the illustrator's facility for cross-sectional drawings. Since then, Richard Platt has gone on to complete some 100 books for UK publishers Oxford University Press, Kingfisher, Dorling Kindersley and Walker Books (Candlewick Press in the U.S.). Most have been for children and young people, though he also writes books for adults on maritime themes, especially smuggling. He won the annual Blue Peter Book Award in category Best Book with Facts. Riddell won the annual Kate Greenaway Medal for children's book illustration, the first "information book" to win since 1975.
