At least it was very short (20 min listening) but throughout the entire audiobook, there is eerie “space” music playing. Very annoying.

Captures the beauty of the moon, its hold on the imagination of the child, the impact of the moon landings and the fact that our childhood loves can last into adulthood. Also, so much work that can be done on varying sentence type, punctuation, precise use and choice of adjectives and adverbs.

A sweet story about dreams of walking on the moon. This would probably be a great read aloud for ages 4 through 7 or so. It left me admiring the wonderful illustrations and longing for the time when Americans (at least those that I knew) were excited about space exploration. A very attractive book with a nice story, fabulous illustrations and no snarky humor. Perhaps a nod to simpler childhood times.

I have had a fascination with space for nearly 30 years so when I saw this book in the catalog I just had to buy it. I enjoyed Haddon's novel The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time when I read it over 6 years ago. I just loved the dreamy soft illustrations.
