Page 1A moon hangs in the night sky. Sometimes it is round. Sometimes it is thin. Sometimes it is gone. Why does it change?
Page 2The moon does not make its own light. It borrows light from the sun. The sun shines on the moon. And the moon shines back at us.
Page 3But the moon travels. Around and around our Earth. A long, slow circle. It takes about a month to go all the way around.
