You have the opportunity to send a gift to a child who loves to read. By joining the "Big Books for Little People Club" your child can continuously have the joy of reading given to them monthly, bimonthly, quarterly, or however frequently you would like.

Our staff will use a questionnaire, (filled out by you telling us their age, interests, and other things about them), along with their knowledge to choose a book suited for your specific person.

Once we have selected the book we will giftwrap them, enclose a note, and ship them to your special child.

We will keep track of the books sent, so there won’t be any duplicates.

Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin was the second man to walk on the moon. His unique perspective makes him the perfect guide on a fascinating journey that shows us how mankind has always looked to the stars.

This wonderful introduction to everything space related begins with Copernicus and Galileo and continues through man's early attempts at flight, the development of the first rockets, America's space race with Russia, the Apollo missions, the space station and the exciting possibilities for future travel as we venture toward Mars.

Buzz Aldrin's enlightening and accessible text is brought to vivid life in beautifully detailed paintings by renowned illustrator Wendell Minor, providing a concise look at the history of space exploration that will inspire young readers to look to the stars themselves.
