Non- Fiction: Faces of the Moon by Bob Crelin

This book is a beautifully written poem that explains the phases of the moon and where the moon is located in relation to the sun.

Faces of the Moon
This book is awesome to use in the classroom because it helps the students learn about the different phases of the moon and why the moon is shaped the way it is. The book is designed so that the very last page of the book is the full moon and each page before that has a cut out that starting at the beginning gets bigger each page. This shows how that moon grows in each phase. I think it would be awesome to have the students create a book like this for themselves. Have the full moon be the last page and starting at the beginning show how the moon changes from a new moon to a full moon. I would have them explain on each page where the moon is in relation to the earth and the sun at each stage. This would be a good tool for them to refer to in the future.
