Rating: Summary: What a Debut Review: A wonderful and strangely nostalgic story with beautifull and imaginative illustrations. I stumbled upon this book at a local store and after reading it there, decided to buy it here ;) Quite a debut from Mr. Diterlizzi - I'm looking forward to many more adventures with Jimmy...
Rating: Summary: zip-pip-kaboodle! Review: A wonderful book. The story is very amusing, and the illustrations really convey a feeling of playing in the backyard before dinner. Perfect for reading aloud to everyone - especially at moon pie parties. I eagerly await more stories and illustrations from Tony DiTerlizzi.
Rating: Summary: Jimmy Zangwow's Out-Of-This-World Moon Pie Adventure Review: An out of this world book! This is a book for the child in all of us. And for the Moon Pie eater in all of us... The wealth of imagination and creative artisty is astounding. The images are so detailed and deeply imagined they seem ready to animate. ( And I am certain they will soon be a major animated cartoon.) The story is simple, fun, and probably somewhat auto-biographical. I know it reminded me of my childhood, and my imaginary friend, Filbert agrrees. ( It reminds him of my childhood too. ) So I guess that means the story has that special element of truth that is the most imoprtant detail, even in a fanatsy. I can't wait for the next Jimmy Zangwow adventrue & my next Moon Pie!

Rating: Summary: an awesome space adventure Review: Cool book! I love the way the moon looks and I wish I was Jimmy Zangwow. I think it's really funny when the Grimble Grinder burps and blows up the balloon. My teacher read this book to our class and we loved it and we had a moonpie party. PS- send Jimmy on another trip!
Rating: Summary: How can a story about moon pies be bad? Review: Growing up in the South, I've had many moon pies in my life (they are best if you warm them in a microwave for a few seconds). This adorable story tells of a boy who MUST have a moon pie, even if it means building a rocket and actually going to the moon to get it! I think this is a great lesson in determination, and the illustrations are awesome. Yay for moon pies!
Rating: Summary: Zip Pip Kaboodle! Review: I am 3 years old and I LOVE this book. I can't believe that all my friends don't have this book. It is my favorite book to give at birthday parties. My mother appreciates the beautiful illustrations, especially the slumbering moon.

Rating: Summary: Out Of This World Book Review: Jimmy Zangwow's Out This World Moon Pie Adventure, by Tony DiTerlizzi, is a glorious and imaginative romp. Jimmy Zangwow loves eating moon pies. Problem is Jimmy's mother won't let him eat between meals. No sooner does Jimmy wish he could go to the moon for some moon pies than his jalopy zips off to the moon. After visiting with the man on the moon, and getting stocked up with plenty of moon pies, Jimmy sets off to the Milky Way. After all you can't have moon pies without milk. From there Jimmy makes a crash landing on Mars. The story moves from one delightful adventure to the next. Jimmy Zangwow's Out This World Moon Pie Adventure is delrious fun. Tony DiTerlizzi's imagination never falters. Indeed, Mr. DiTerlizzi proves himself to be such a skilled raconteur of tall tales that even Baron Munchausen would be envious. The illustrations are eye poppingly perfect. I simply loved DiTerlizzi's rendering of Jimmy's visit with the man on the moon, complete with a rope tied from the moon to Jimmy's jalopy. (While parked in space Jimmy's jalopy has its little head lights turned on) If I were Eight I would love Jimmy Zangwow's Out This World Moon Pie Adventure. Oh Heck! I'm only thirty and I love it.Preston McClear
