Man on the Moon: (a day in the life of Bob)
2002
Bob gets up everyday at six o'clock, has breakfast and heads to the rocket launchpad to go to work. Bob works on the moon. He's the moon's custodian, making sure its surface is spotless and ready to be visited by curious tourists everyday. He gives them guided tours and tells them all about the moon. "Sometimes people ask him about aliens, and Bob explains patiently that there aren't any." After all the tourists have left, Bob does a final check and heads back to Earth.
Okay, so aside from the fact that Bob has a super cool job going to the moon everyday, you can tell by the text that it's a pretty simple premise with deadpan text. But believe me, this book is a blast. The magic of Man on the Moon: (a day in the life of Bob)
Hi Natalia,
ReplyDeleteNice blog! Funny too! I've just subscrubed, so I don't know if you've written about this one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Story-Little-Mole-Knew-Business/dp/1856021017
It's one of my favorites.

Hi Eva,
ReplyDeleteI looked for it in my library but they don't have it. I'll see if they carry it in the library in Manhattan next week. Glad you like the blog, and I'd love to hear some more book recommendations!
Besos.
