How to Be on the Moon

Description

Anna and Crocodile are back in a brand-new companion title to How to Find Gold. Praise for How to Find Gold: "This book is gold, put it on your bookshelf where it can be easily found and treasure it!" - Chris Riddell, Children's Laureate In the sequel to the bestselling How to Find Gold, best friends Anna and Crocodile are going on another intrepid adventure - this time, to the moon! But soaring into the space is no simple task. To start with, it's very far away. Then there's the not-so-simple matter of building a rocket. And there are the sandwiches to make for the journey. But when Anna and Crocodile set their sights on something, nothing can stand in their way... Bursting with sharp, funny dialogue and illuminated by Viviane's out-of-this-world illustrations, this is a story that celebrates irrepressible curiosity and the magic of imaginative play.

With her inky, splotchy illustrations and can-do characters Schwarz beautifully depicts the boundless energy and enthusiasm of small children and the chit-chat style of their speech. -- Imogen Carter * The Observer * "Ingenious, funny, and very heart-warming[...] adventures are always better when you go together." * Fallen Star Stories *
