Space Boy

This world, decides Nicholas, is too noisy for him. Time to take a trip. He packs a snack, puts on his suit, and takes off . . . to the utterly quiet craters and vast deserts of the distant moon. In this utterly charming picture book, the allure of space travel and the longing for peace and quiet entice a young boy to take his space rocket to the moon for a picnic.

[S]pare and jovial watercolor illustrations...a far-out bedtime read, including an understanding of the need to delay the inevitable… --Kirkus 9/1/07
