For the moonstruck child

12-5-2012 - by Penny J. Short from Sammamish, WA

We bought this item (I can't call it a toy, because it's so much more than that) for our grandson when he was four years old. He was fascinated by the real moon, and had learned about the phases by that time. His parents put it up on the wall of his room, and it remains there to this day, four years later. The only maintenance it needs is occasional battery replacement. I recommend it highly.
