So That’s How the Moon Changes Shape!<\/a>, by Allan Fowler, gives simple explanations to young readers about the different phases of the moon.\u00a0 It explains that children may think that the moon changes it’s shape, but helps them to understand that it is sunlight reflecting off of the moon.\u00a0 There is a moon calender that shows how the moon may look on any given day of the month and a great graphic that shows the moon orbiting around the earth.\u00a0 Although very simple and basic, this book would be excellent to share with a young class that is learning about the different phases of the moon.\u00a0 Now children can understand how the moon changes it’s shape!Curriculum Connections<\/strong>
