Space travel, black holes, river rapids, singing, sledding..

This author reminds me of two authors: Richard Brautigan (for adults) and Daniel Pinkwater (for kids). Just like Brautigan and Pinkwater, Pinkwater gives us a comic tale mixing realistic dialogue and surreal situations. This kid Steve is miffed because his mom is redecorating the house, and he doesn't like it until she shows him some spaceship wallpaper. You would not think a story about wallpaper could be exciting, but think again! Steve and his mom paper his bedroom with it, and that night, Steve has amazing adventures with some remarkably carefree spacemice, exploring the planet of the Bunnies ("don't do anything to get them mad"). Boldly illustrated by Jill Pinkwater. The hardcover jacket says "ages 6-9," but I am 43 years old and I really enjoyed this book.
