Milo's Moonlight Mission

The most spectacular night skies are revealed when we plan for the ideal moment—with loved ones by our sides. This heartwarming tale is perfect for space fans and young budding astronauts!
Outer space is out there for exploring, and Captain Milo is ready for takeoff! If only he didn't have to wait for his Second-in-Command—or as he also calls her, Mom—to report for duty. Yet Mom's list of daily tasks grows ever longer, and she can't launch until they're done. So, like any good captain, Milo offers to help! Work? Check. Dinner? Check. Cleanup? Check. When the weather forecast predicts a middle-of-the-night meteor storm, Captain Milo wants desperately to witness it. But will his Second-in-Command have enough time to accomplish this magical mission with him?
