Max viaja a la luna: Una aventura de ciencias con el perro Max

Por Jeffrey Bennett y Alan Okamoto

Max the Dog and a young girl named Tori take the first trip to the Moon since the Apollo era, and their trip proves so inspiring to people back on Earth that all the nations of the world come together to build a great Moon colony. From the colony, the views of Earth make everyone realize how small and precious planet Earth is. Along the way, the story sets the stage for more sophisticated science, featured in the 19 “Big Kid Box” sidebars which cover topics including “Phases of the Moon,” “Wings in Space?,” and “Frisbees and Curve Balls on the Moon”—all thoughtfully explained so that grownups and children can learn about science together. Behind-the-scenes science lessons with activities round out this entertaining and educational picture book, which is designed to accompany the new Max Goes to the Moon planetarium show, coming soon to planetariums around the world.

El perro Max y una joven llamada Tori emprenden el primer viaje a la luna desde la época del programa Apolo, y su viaje resulta ser tan inspirador para los habitantes de la Tierra que todas las naciones trabajan juntas para construir una colonia en la luna. Las vistas de la Tierra desde la colonia les recuerdan a todos lo pequeño y precioso que es el planeta. A lo largo del libro, la historia presenta conceptos científicos más sofisticados en 19 notas de recuadro que abarcan temas como “Las fases de la luna,” “¿Alas en el espacio?” y “Frisbees y bolas curva en la luna”—todos explicados de tal manera que los adultos y los niños puedan aprender juntos sobre la ciencia. Lecciones científicas con actividades también se incluyen en este divertido y didáctico libro ilustrado, el cual está diseñado para acompañar la nueva exposición en planetarios Max Goes to the Moon, el cual estará pasando por planetarios nacionales e internacionales.

I heard this author speak. He is good at teaching science and this book is a good one. The science is impeccable. The illustrations are all color, 0very good and vey large, something young kids really like. There are many sidebars of additional information to enrich the learning and interest. Illustrations measure 10.5 by 11 inches, really big. Except some illustrations are two pagers, so almost poster size. The author makes room in the illustration for the text so there is room for both. The book runs 32 pages so is short enough to read as a bedtime story to very young kids. Max Dog is the main character, a very friendly dog who can understand most of what his human friends want to get across to him. The astronauts all like Max, he is a good companion and he helps out when in space. This book is part of a series. The sidebars provide detailed science and extend the suitable age reading up into and through primary school grades.

Cute story. Information in the side boxes might be more appropriate for an older reader than the story would suggest, but still good information.
