Great Events: The First Moon Landing traces the events of the first manned mission to land on the moon. It follows the successful Apollo II mission, including the famous first steps of astronaut Neil Armstrong on 20 July 1969. Gillian Clements tells the story through a lively combination of text and illustration (including some speech bubbles, labelled maps etc). In this way she makes history child-friendly and accessible but still manages to incorporate, wherever possible, primary source material (such as eyewitness accounts and documentary evidence).
