Summary: A Science Teacher Revisits Childhood With David And Chuck
Review: My wife has for years told me about how she enjoyed the Mushroom Planet series as a child. I have worked for months, but, finally found copies of each book of the series to her joy and amazement.
I read this first book recently and was captivated. I enjoyed going back to the days when as children of the 60's space travel was still a dream and still very innocent. As a middle school science teacher, I loved Cameron's uncanny research based on her knowledge of pre-lunar excursion science and how it melded beautifully into the story. I am hooked on the story and the series now and can't wait for our next two recently purchased books to arrive. This should be a MUST read for any child and parent of any age as well.

Summary: Gentle, Nostalgiac Juvenile Sci-Fi From The Mid 1950's...
Review: REVIEW: "The Wonderful Flight To The Mushroom Planet" by Cameron, Eleanor; Little Brown & Co, October 1988, paperback, ISBN 0316125407.Here is a book I first read when I was ten years old! "The Wonderful Flight To The Mushroom Planet" by Eleanor Cameron was the very first genuine science-fiction BOOK I ever read (but not the first sci-fi STORY -- the latter honor goes to the last part of our third grade reading textbook, titled "From Bicycles To Boomerangs" -- but, uhm, please forgive me, I digress). "Mushroom Planet" enthralled me then, and still fires my imagination thirty-three years later. It is fanciful and light-hearted and holds the child's sense of wonder. Oh, it is SO GOOD to see this book once more in print!!! Yay for Mr. Bass! Break out the Stroboscopic Polaroid Filter! Fuel up the ship, fire up the Oxygen Urn ("Phee-eep! Phee-eep! Phee-eep! Phee-eep!")! Ho for Basidium-X! Hail, Mebe! Hail, Oru! Long Live King Ta!!! :) This Review was submitted on: Fri., 29-Mar-2002, at 01:13am EST (-0500 GMT). ---End---

Summary: A wondeful adventure!
Review: I read this book eons ago and was wondering where I could find it and lo! Amazon had it! I bought it so that my children would find it as fun to read as I did. I could not put it down when I recieved it. It reminded me of the days when I was younger when summers were longer than they are now! Mr. Bass was/is just as mysterious!!!

Summary: Fun and absorbing
Review: Eleanor Cameron blends science fiction elements with everyday happenings so skillfully that anyone from "space nut" to those not normally favouring sci-fi can love the end result. That this book was written long before Voyager (or even Apollo) does not matter, and in fact it does present some interesting "space knowledge." The description, for example, of Mr Bass's paintings of other planets is no less intriguing today than it was forty years ago. The boys' embarking on a space journey with the nonchalance of going to summer camp is delightful - and totally believable! The reader is tempted to search the newspapers for ads similar to the one they answered. I'll not reveal the details, to avoid spoiling them for new readers, but the awareness the boys reach during their few hours on Basidium is an extremely valuable lesson which few people or countries would grasp. I used this book, some years ago, when teaching children aged 10 and 11 - most of whom loved the Mushroom Planet. Interestingly, the kids' one criticism of the book is one that I had long had - and not shared with them. The ending is a bit irritating, because Mr Bass's situation suddenly, totally contradicts all that went before, and all of his tales of his own discovery of Basidium. Other than that, this is first rate kid lit.
