The graphic evolution of the moon is obvious throughout the book and shows well the moon cycle.
This is also an excellent book to use in French as a foreign language classes. Early history of radar in the US Navy / Dr. :). It contains a philosophy on life that inspires and motivates. The cd is helpful for those who may have a hard time reading music, but can play by ear. I can't tell you how helpful the diagrams and step-by-step were in completely many repairs.

The tale is told in rhyme and moves us around the farm as all the animals and the farmer are turning in for the night.
The pages in the hardcover are heavy paper and not easily torn by little fi
