First man on the Moon Neil Armstrong reveals the adventure of the first Moon landing and how
the Earth and the Moon came to be in this unique non-fiction picture book. A young boy sits up
in bed and gazes at the distant Moon through his window. He wonders if one day a human will
stand on its surface and look back at the Earth. But Earth is already being studied from the
Moon. An all-seeing Moon rock of almost impossible age called Bok has been looking down at
our blue and green planet for millennia. Geologists - people who study rocks - have a saying:
'Rocks remember'. During his time Bok has witnessed some truly wondrous things. Created in the
Earth-shattering collision 4.5 billion years ago that led to the formation of the Moon he has
seen stars burst into being and meteors streak through the solar system. He has seen his own
Moon surface be transformed with craters and he has watched a fiery volcanic planet transform
into the haven we know today - as mountain ranges rose up oceans appeared and dinosaurs roamed
the Earth. And he found himself rudely awoken one early lunar morning by a strange creature
picking him up and throwing him into a box. That is how Bok and Neil Armstrong first met and
this is their (true) story.
