Booktalk #1 Daring Dozen: The Twelve Who Walked on the Moon written by Suzanne Slade and illustrated by Alan Marks is a beautiful picture book that gives an account for each Apollo mission from 11 through 17. The reader will learn about the mission of each moon landing to include specific materials that were to be collected and experiments that were to be conducted. The book also gives insights into some of the challenges of each mission that were overcome to have a successful mission. Daring Dozen is a beautiful book to inform and inspire our younger generations about space travel. (Prepared by: Linda Lundeen, Oakwood-Windsor Elementary, llundeen2@acpsd.net ) (South Carolina Book Awards, 2020-2021) Booktalk #2 So far, only twelve humans have walked on the moon – the daring dozen. From the first moon landing in 1969 to the final mission in 1972, each team of astronauts conducted experiments, collected samples and hop-jumped into history as they explored the moon. Earthlings dreamed for centuries about the moon: How was it formed? What is it made of? Could humans live on the moon? Who were the brave astronauts who set foot on the moon? The Daring Dozen profiles each NASA team and mission. Missions to the moon will resume in the near future. Will you be ready to walk on the moon?
