    Written and Illustrated by Carmen Gloria

    Age Range: 4+

    Hardcover: 38 pages

    Publisher: Uncommon Grammar (November 26, 2019)

    ISBN-13: 978-1950767083

    What to expect: Space, Solar System, and Empowerment

    The latest addition to author Carmen Gloria’s Kid Astronomy series, The Moon Show is an entertaining picture book that introduces the moons from our solar system to young readers ages four and up.

    What makes Earth’s moon so bright? Did you know that 170 moons have been discovered, so far, in our solar system? Uranus’ moons are all named after characters in the plays written by William Shakespeare. Planet Earth has just one moon, and it is this moon, our moon, that tours readers through the solar system on The Moon Show. The many and varied moons are a friendly bunch that kids will readily learn from.

    Carmen Gloria’s writing is inviting, thanks to her engaging and conversational style. The moons all chat together, while questions are directed at the reader, drawing them deeper into the learning experience. When discussing the 79 moons of Jupiter, one of the moons is described as a wild pizza covered with melted cheese and tomato—now that’s a kid-friendly visualization. An informal quiz at the end tests newfound knowledge. Gloria has also managed to fill the pages with impactful positive message using uplifting lines like this:

    “Moon: So, you mean when life throws storms at us, we can still shine?”

    “Ganymede: …[S]ometimes the biggest storms are what makes us shine the brightest!”

    The Moon Show is a delightfully fun choice for young astronomers, along with any reader ready to shine brightly in the world!
