Description: "As the command module pilot for the 1971 Apollo 15 mission to the Moon, Astronaut Al Worden remained in orbit to observe and take photographs while his two crewmates explored the surface. On the return-flight to Earth, he became the first person to walk in deep space. In Astronaut Al Travels to the Moon, his fourth book, Worden vividly depicts space travel as only an astronaut can. Join him for a lyrical journey to the Moon and back that captures first-hand the essence of hurtling through the cosmos, an adventure for both children and adults"--
Review Quotes:
"Al Worden has coupled his real trip to the Moon with his wonderful poetry in a way that makes you feel you're alongside him on Apollo 15. What a delightful voyage it is to go along as Astronaut Al Travels to the Moon."
Gerry Griffin, Lead Flight Director - Apollo 15
"Apollo 15 astronaut Al Worden is one of America's most beloved space heroes. Along with being a remarkable pilot and astronaut Al had an extraordinarily creative mind and deeply compassionate and broad-minded human spirit. All of that brilliance and more shines through in this charming book authored for children by astronaut Worden."
