The Great Moon Hoax by Stephen Krensky illustrated by Josee Bisaillon

2011/30 pgs

In order to sell papers, the New York Sun told a story about the moon in 1835. They claimed a telescope had found all sorts of things on the moon and the newspaper boys had lots to talk about and sell that day. This is a fun look at an interesting story in history and readers who like a good laugh would be sure to like it. My only complaint would be that at times I wasn't able to tell exactly what time period the story took place.
