Hrabal:FullMoon

A faithful companion. It not only supposedly gives us sleepless nights from time to time, makes wolves howl, and causes tides – it is also an essential celestial body for us. Without the moon, life on Earth in its current form would likely not be possible: Our home planet would wobble erratically around the sun and spin so quickly that a day would only last eight hours. What stress! Thomas Hrabal has gathered this and many other exciting facts about the bright disc in the night sky for this new children's non-fiction book. Impressive comparisons make the often unimaginable large numbers and relationships tangible, while the clear illustrations by Nini Spagl clarify complex connections. Each double page is dedicated to a specific aspect (origin, cultural significance, phases, surface, relationship, and relation to others).
