Librarian’s Note: I am definitely not looking forward to yet another round of Apollo anniversary books, which seems to peak at each of the ‘decadal’ anniversaries. However, I am not going to complain about this particular title. There are some really, really cool pop-ups in here, including a rather clever Moon. Definitely a nice addition to the Lunar Library.

Librarian’s Note: I’m a bit ambivalent about this one. It’s probably just dandy for its intended audience of 3-5 year olds, but beyond that it lacks heft, as can be noted in the reviews. I was a bit put off by the fact that the characters’ teeth and tongues didn’t seem to be anchored to anything in the head, and in some shots the heads could be seen to be empty wireframes.
