Product Description
Max goes to the Moon combines a lavishly illustrated picture book format with fundamental science concepts. In this adventure, Max the Dog and his young human friend Tori undertake a quest to make the first trip to the Moon since the Apollo era. Their trip inspires the nations of the world to join together to build a Moon colony. The engaging story encourages children to learn, dream, and explore, while offering the message that we live on a precious planet. Everything that happens in the story corresponds to scientific principles which are clearly explained in "Big Kid Boxes" that appear on each page. At the end of the book there is a simple science-based activity that children and parents can enjoy together.

Fun read August 9, 2008
Fun book; my nephew reads this over and over and over. Max the dog in an entertaining character, and the illustrations are beautiful and colorful. I like that real science is incorporated into the material as well--so even parents can learn something!
Fantastic Book November 11, 2005
This book is a fantastic book full of facts and fun! Everyone in the family will enjoy it. Great job Jeff.
Very informative November 1, 2004
Max Goes to the Moon was very informative and fun for my children. My 4 year old liked the pictures and the story. My 6 year old wanted to learn more about how to get to the moon, so the sidebars worked perfectly. Get this book for any kid who dreams of going to the moon.

The illustrations are beautiful. They are very colorful and crisp.
The inter-weaving of the story of Max and Tori along with the science behind it is well worth the read for ANY age.
Boys and girls alike loved the story.I recieved the book as a gift for my classroom. It is a treasured addition.

This is a great book. My almost 5 year old son keeps asking for it over and over again. Unlike most "real science" books, it has both scientific explanations for things like gravity and the phases of the moon, but also tells a narrative fictional story. As a parent, it's very helpful to have all the answers right there on the same page when your child asks, what is gravity? We can't wait for the next Max book.
