Mickey Moonbeam


Mike Brownlow's Mickey Moonbeam is a great read for little kids who have a thing for rockets, space, planets and the like. The four-year-old in our household had me reading it night after night for quite awhile, even as I eyed the other books in our stack. The full-page illustrations are colorful and very evocative of the space-y theme. In this story, Mickey, a little boy who lives on the moon with his parents, has to rescue his penpal Quiggle after Quiggle's space scooter crashes on a nearby asteroid. There's plenty of action in the plot to keep kids glued to the pages.
