Neil is a young boy who likes to scream “whee!” with excitement when he’s at the playground. Neil develops a love of flying. As he gets older, he learns how to fly aircraft that will take him on many different adventures. Even though he is now a grown up, Neil still excitedly screams “whee!” as he gets to fly all the way to the Moon!
My review
If you have young space lovers in your house, you need to share Whee to the Moon by Aaron Charman with them. Every astronaut starts somewhere, and they start with a dream. Everyone who accomplishes great things in life starts as a child, and sharing that lesson with your child when they are young allows them to dream. Kids need to be able to dream and believe that they can get to where they want to be with hard work and dedication.
I like the way that the author shares Neil Armstrong’s story. He shows that it takes a lot of steps to get to where you want to go, but it is worth it. I think your kids will like the simple illustrations that accompany Whee to the Moon since they bring meaning to the stories and allow even the youngest listeners to understand the book more.
