Publisher Description
One hungry Tuesday afternoon Jimmy Zangwow's stomach rumbles. He just has to have some milk and a chocolaty Moon Pie. But his mother says, "Of course not", and sends him outside to play. In the backyard, Jimmy climbs aboard the secret project he has been building - a junk jumbilee jalopy. It shakes and rattles, then rockets straight up. Suddenly Jimmy is high above the earth, flying toward the great Moon Pie maker. Maybe the slumbering moon will wake up and give him a tasty treat. A youngster at heart, Tony DiTerlizzi creates this kid-pleasing tale, complete with Mars Men and "out-of-this-world adventure." Narrator L.J. Ganser holds young readers captive while he answers the question: How far will Jimmy go to get his favorite snack?

"This book takes you on an adventure with Jimmy. There are fun invented words and great illustrations. This would be interesting to read while children are drawing and then to show the illustrations. That would also help with comprehension."

" the story is simple, the artwork is spectacular. This is all about the depths of a child's imagination...does that still exist in today's video-game focused society? "

" I don't know about the story except for this one is really bent on a sense of nostalgia. The illustrations really pull the whole thing together for me. I would ladder this one up with Rocca's MOONPOWDER. "

" My daughter has liked this book since she was 2 and ever since she read it she mentions that the moon has cheese in its ears. It definitely added to her obsession with the moon! "
