To the Moon and Beyond
is a delightful writing journal for kids. Without a
child knowing it, they are working on proper sentence structure, spelling and
writing. Things that are so important for a child to continue working on. And,
when they go back to previous days, it helps them work on their reading. What
makes this book so unique is there are many different questions throughout the
book. Instead of just a blank journal, they are asked questions. This not only
gives them a place to start, but will make them look inside and write what they
feel.
