A Trip to the Moon is an interesting fictional story of three animals who visit the Moon. In the story, a rabbit, a crow and a fish, with a wise old owl travel to the Moon and learn all the scientific facts about the moon through their exciting fun-filled adventures. From my experience as a mother and teacher, I found most children avoid reading pure science books on their own because they appear monotonous to them. Children love stories. So, I have combined the science with an interesting story of the animals so that the children will enjoy reading the story and simultaneously learn science.
