Fantastic - Great to read over and over

Richly illustrated, this great book has become our new favorite. My boys (ages 6 and 9) love to hear the story again and again.

This is one of the greatest children's books !

This is one of the greatest most imaginative children's books I have read in such a long time. This is a book I am proud to read as a parent and will love to read as a grandparent. The book has wonderful illustrations and takes children on an out of this world adventure. The great thing about this book is that it has no mean characters, it teaches good values (sharing), and ties in an old nursery rhyme to the creative story. What a treat.

But Mom, What are Moon Pies?

We have twin 4 year olds (boy and girl) and they LOVE this book! They are truly mesmorized by the illustrations! We have read it continuously for the last 3 days. It has space exploration, martians without feet, not scary monsters, moon pies! @#?, and lessons to listen to Mom. Of course, no matter how hard I try, I can't explain a 'moon pie.' But, they're on the shopping list this week!

Jimmy Zangwow's Out-Of-This-World Moon Pie Adventure

An out of this world book! This is a book for the child in all of us. And for the Moon Pie eater in all of us... The wealth of imagination and creative artisty is astounding. The images are so detailed and deeply imagined they seem ready to animate. ( And I am certain they will soon be a major animated cartoon.) The story is simple, fun, and probably somewhat auto-biographical. I know it reminded me of my childhood, and my imaginary friend, Filbert agrrees. ( It reminds him of my childhood too. ) So I guess that means the story has that special element of truth that is the most imoprtant detail, even in a fanatsy. I can't wait for the next Jimmy Zangwow adventrue & my next Moon Pie!

magical adventure with Jimmy Zangwow

The wonderful 50's feel of the illustrations adds to this delightful story of just how far a small boy will go for a Moon Pie. Jimmy's adventure takes him to the Moon (where else would you get Moon Pies?)The milky way and Mars. His search for Moon pies becomes an adventure in gaining,sharing and imagination. A total delight!
