Jimmy Zangwow's out-of-this-world, moon pie adventure Book

I love this book. It is one that I read repeatedly to my son when he was between the ages of four and seven. Each of the characters are well created and it was easy to read it aloud and assign voices to each one because they are so distinct. In some ways you might compare this to Where the Wild Things Are, as a boy leaves his home for adventure but discovers that ultimately, home is his ultimate chosen destination. The pictures are marvelous, the plot is sweet, the character interaction is believable and kind. There is dramatic tension without calling on absolute fear. Very appropriate for little children, but also interesting for older kids who might still enjoy imagining what the man in the moon, the Milky Way, Mars men and others might be like.
