First man on the Moon Neil Armstrong reveals the adventure of the first Moon landing, and how the Earth and the Moon came to be, in this unique non-fiction picture book. A young boy sits up in bed and gazes at the distant Moon through his window. He wonders if, one day, a human will stand on its surface and look back at the Earth. But Earth is already being studied from the Moon. An all-seeing Moon rock of almost impossible age, called Bok, has been looking down at our blue and green planet for millennia. Geologists - people who study rocks - have a saying: 'Rocks remember'. During his time, Bok has witnessed some truly wondrous things. Created in the Earth-shattering collision 4.5 billion years ago that led to the formation of the Moon, he has seen stars burst into being and meteors streak through the solar system. He has seen his own Moon surface be transformed with craters, and he has watched a fiery, volcanic planet transform into the haven we know today - as mountain ranges rose up, oceans appeared and dinosaurs roamed the Earth. And he found himself rudely awoken one early lunar morning by a strange creature picking him up and throwing him into a box. That is how Bok and Neil Armstrong first met, and this is their (true) story.

In 'Jack the Young Explorer: A Boy's Experiences in the Unknown Northwest' by George Bird Grinnell, readers are immersed in the thrilling adventures of a young boy exploring the uncharted territories of the American Northwest. Grinnell's vivid descriptions and engaging storytelling style transport the reader to a time of exploration and discovery. The book captures the essence of the late 19th century literary tradition of adventure stories for young readers, reminiscent of the works of authors like Mark Twain and Jack London. Through Jack's escapades, readers are not only entertained but also educated about the geography and culture of the region. Grinnell's careful attention to detail and historical accuracy make this book a valuable resource for understanding the pioneer spirit of the time. George Bird Grinnell, a renowned naturalist, anthropologist, and historian, drew on his own experiences exploring the American West to write 'Jack the Young Explorer.' His passion for nature and his firsthand knowledge of the region shine through in the book, making it an authentic and compelling read for both children and adults alike. I highly recommend 'Jack the Young Explorer' to anyone interested in adventure stories, historical fiction, or the rich heritage of the American Northwest.
