This sample chapter from Next Time You See The Moon focuses on the Moon's changing shapes and the many phases of the Moon.

If you keep track of the Moon phases for a while, you will discover that it takes about a month to observe all of the Moon phases because it takes about a month for the Moon to orbit the Earth. So, when you look at the Moon today, know that you will see that same phase again about a month from now!
