Sarah Mackenzie recommended this book on her podcast when she featured moon books to celebrate 50 years since the moon landing.
I read this story aloud to my twelve year old and nine year old. We all enjoyed it!
Armstrong, a mouse, is fascinated by the moon. With a telescope he observes it and comes to some conclusions. The other mice ignore him and cling to their belief that the moon is made of cheese! Then an opportunity arises, and Armstrong pursues it with tenacity.
We were able to make some predictions as we read.
The illustrations are stunning! I liked viewing illustrations as much as reading the story. Every other page displays a two page spread of an illustration.
Mr. Kuhlmann has written/illustrated two more books about mice based on famous men (Edison and Lindbergh). I have requested them from the library and will review them soon.
*Highly recommend.
