One fine summer evening, a hungry bear decides that he would like to taste a piece of the moon and builds a rocketship to get there.

Illustrations and simple, rhyming text follow chicks of all ilks as they work together to puzzle out how to respond to a sign forbidding chicks from attending the Rocket Club meeting.

From Neil Armstrong's first small step to Gene Cernan's last footprint, award-winning author Suzanne Slade captures the experiences of the twelve astronauts who walked on the moon. The book reveals how the Apollo moon missions (1969-1972) built upon one another and unveiled important new discoveries about our nearest neighbor in space.
