A scientifically-inclined mouse attempts to convince his fellows that the moon is made of stone, but the murine masses prefer to believe the old wives' tale about it being made of cheese. Then our little hero gets an invitation to Washington, DC, where he meets a fellow mouse-scientists at the Smithsonian who encourages his efforts. After much trial and error, he manages to launch a rocket ship to the moon, inspiring the humans to do likewise, soon after... Originally published in German as Armstrong: Die abenteuerliche Reise einer Maus zum Mond, this lovely work of animal fantasy is the third picture-book from author/artist Torben Kuhlmann that I have read, following upon his Lindbergh: The Tale of a Flying Mouse and Moletown. Much like those earlier books, the story in Armstrong: The Adventurous Journey of a Mouse to the Moon is engaging and fun, while the artwork is simply lovely. There is a luminous quality to Kuhlmann's artwork that is absolutely beautiful, and his animal figures are charming. I also liked the 50s people and settings seen in the background here. Recommended to young readers who enjoy animal fiction and tales of astronauts, as well as to fans of the artist. Armstrong: A Mouse on the Moon where dreams are determined only by the size of your imagination and the biggest innovators are the smallest of all. This wonderful picture book tells the tale of Armstrong, a small mouse who is actually the first to walk on the moon. It goes through his process of designing a spacesuit and several different kinds of transportation methods. After accidentally starting the building he lives in on fire, the humans are looking for him. He finds a new place to live and continues his quest. When the humans and their dogs find his home, he barely escapes in his rocket and heads to the moon. The illustrations in this book are amazing. The drawings mixed with the watercolour illustrations are worthy of being framed and hung on walls. With some text, the illustrations actually tell the story. This book shows perseverance, innovation, the value of imagination, research and study. The back of the book shows a brief history of space travel ending with Neil Armstrong and Apollo 11. What a great way to introduce space travel to young people and encourage them to find out more on their own. I recommend this book to classroom, school and public libraries. Thanks to Netgalley and North South Books Inc. for the opportunity to read and review this book. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

A long time ago a mouse learned to fly... and crossed the Atlantic. But what happened next? Torben Kuhlmann's book transports readers to the moon and beyond! On the heels of Lindbergh: The Tale of a Flying Mouse comes Armstrong: A Mouse on the Moon--where dreams are determined only by the size of your imagination and the biggest innovators are the smallest of all. The book ends with a brief non-fiction history of human space travel--from Galileo's observations concerning the nature of the universe to man's first steps on the moon.
