Max Goes to the Moon

About Max Goes to the Moon

Recommend for ages 4-8, grades K-4
Running Time: 35 minutes

Max the Dog and a young girl named Tori take the first trip to the Moon since the Apollo era, and their trip proves so inspiring to people back on Earth that all the nations of the world come together to build a great Moon colony. From the colony, the views of Earth make everyone realize how small and precious the planet Earth is. Adapted for the planetarium from the popular children's book.
