Review: Marvel at the Moon by Levi Lusko with Tama Fortner illustrated by Catherine Pearson and Tim Bradford is a 90 day devotional book. Each day which is a two page spread contains a topic related to space, a verse, an interesting fact about space and a prayer. The topics included are space facts, famous women and men in space, and what you need to know if you lived in outer space. Fabulous topics for students ages 6-11. Students 9-11 would be able to read on their own.
My eleven year old really enjoyed this story. I loved the format and the beautiful two page spreads. The book is very inviting, and the illustrations are incredible. We are always looking for ways to expand our horizons, and a space devotional is a great way to do that.
This would be a great way to supplement your science curriculum, use a devotional, or wonderful starting point for discussion with your student. I highly recommend Marvel at the Moon.
I was given a copy by the publisher and not required to write a positive review.
