Space Boy

Space Boy by Leo Landry 2007

The world around Nicholas is too noisy, and so he decides to leave the earth behind, and take a trip. After exchanging his pajamas for a space suit, and packing a healthy snack, he boards the rocket conveniently parked in his backyard.

The distant moon and it's quiet craters become the ideal setting for a picnic. Although the moon is peaceful, Nicholas starts to feel lonely. He returns to a silent house, and nonchalantly tells his parents goodnight.

Landry's illustrations are simple and spare. This is a great bedtime read that will induce dreams about outer space, and stretch your child's imagination.

Appropriate for ages 4-8
