A fascinating nonfiction picture book full of facts about the moon and space—now in paperback!

What is so great about having your birthday party on the moon?  
 
For starters, you can ride in a rocket with your friends and eat cake upside down. Your friends can celebrate with you for a whole month, which is only one day on the moon! Young partygoers can bounce and glide in a low-gravity playground. And any “moon angels” that you make will last for thousands of years.  
 
This entertaining adventure includes sidebars, a glossary, a selected bibliography, and suggestions for further reading. If You Had Your Birthday Party on the Moon is perfect for sharing at home and at school.
