Jimmy Zangwow's Out-of-This-World Moon-Pie Adventure

Rating:
Summary: an awesome space adventure
Review: This book is a pure marketing book for Moon Pies. It even includes a coupon for Moon Pies in the back. The story itself is quite engaging. It describes a boy who travels to outer space to get his Moon Pies. He even pacifies a monster on Mars with a Moon Pie. The entire book is dedicated to increasing the reader�s desire to purchase and eat Moon Pies- -completely despicable. The author is not content to simply market Moon Pies; he also suggests that Moon Pies are preferable to nutritious foods like Brussels sprouts and beans. If you would like to see your child join the ranks of the morbidly obese, for heaven sakes, buy this book. And there�s an Oreo counting book you�d probably like as well.

Summary: Grimble Grinder!
Review: This imaginative adventure has fast become a family favorite! Every time our two-year-old son hears a burp or funny tummy noise now, he exclaims "grimble grinder!" We cheer each other on with "zip pip kaboodle!" This book feeds the senses and the imagination with sound effects and beautiful illustration. Enjoy the adventure (just don't forget to be home in time for dinner)!

Summary: Out-of-this-world!
Review: This is a book for children of all ages! I loved the warmth of the illustrations and the sense of friendship between the characters. Jimmy's homemade rocket was a nice touch that reminded me of my own make-believe transporters. After finishing the book, I really wanted a Moon Pie and some milk, but none of that noodle-bean casserole! This is a great book for anyone's library, and I can't wait for Tony DiTerlizzi's next book!

Summary: This is one of the greatest children's books !
Review: This is one of the greatest most imaginative children's books I have read in such a long time. This is a book I am proud to read as a parent and will love to read as a grandparent. The book has wonderful illustrations and takes children on an out of this world adventure. The great thing about this book is that it has no mean characters, it teaches good values (sharing), and ties in an old nursery rhyme to the creative story. What a treat.

Summary: "Never Abandon Imagination!"
Review: Those words are inscribed on an introductory page to this book, and the idea is embodied on every page that follows. In delightful, retro-modern styling reminiscent of the 1950's, a tale unfolds to delight the senses of any child (or child at heart!). When Mom says Jimmy can't have his favorite snack (a Moon Pie and milk) before dinner, he sets off to get some on his own. His adventure takes him to the moon and back, and lands him in his back yard just in time for dinner. My four year old (and his parents) adored this book, and, of course, HAD to have some Moon Pies to go with it (which, by the way, are an actual pre-existing product available online through a webside provided in the acknowledgments of the book). A more sensitive friend of mine was slightly put off by the belching scenes in the story, but we found those parts particularly inventive and humorous. No imaginative 4-8 year-old's collection should be without this remarkable, endearing book.

Summary: But Mom, What are Moon Pies?
Review: We have twin 4 year olds (boy and girl) and they LOVE this book! They are truly mesmorized by the illustrations! We have read it continuously for the last 3 days. It has space exploration, martians without feet, not scary monsters, moon pies! @#?, and lessons to listen to Mom. Of course, no matter how hard I try, I can't explain a 'moon pie.' But, they're on the shopping list this week!
