Customer Reviews

Wonderful!

Not all picture books are for small children only. I would especially recommend this book for people ages 8 and up, particularly those interested in drawing, space or engineering. A great choice for ESL or adult literacy students, the pictures and story will be sure to spark discussions on astrophysics, gadgetry and the power of imagination.

What a fantastic book!

Pictures don't always determine who should read a book. Like Jon Sceizka, Hillman uses ludicrous humor to create a wonderful read. Not every child will "get it," but those that do will laugh for weeks. I am a teacher and will definitely use this book with 8-12 year olds to start a fascinating discussion about space and its wonders.

I LIKED IT!

I think that the illustrations are beautiful, the writing is humorous, the plot clever, and the ending is appropriate. I give it 10 out of 10.Get it!
