This book is sure to charm little adventure fans everywhere. The art is lovely and the story is a tale of imagination and friendship.
After coming in from a trip in his boat the little boy happens to find an airplane in his closet and decides to take it out for a little spin to the moon! It breaks down up there moments before a martian has a similar problem with his flying saucer on the other side of the moon. They each hear sounds and imagine the worst but a friendship ensues and they work out a way to get each other back home. Lovely.
My son LOVES this book and laughs out loud each time the little guy finds the aeroplane in his closet.
