I picked this up having read and loved Matt Carr's Spyder at storytime last year. It went down a storm with kids and parents alike and Rocket Mole is in the same vein. It's a little longer and wordier, but no less funny or engaging. Like Spyder, it's full of puns ("it's out of this world", "boring" moles) which will keep adults amused as well as visual humour and a lively, fun story kids will love. It's bright, bold, comic strip style has universal appeal. Inspirational without being preachy or twee, this is a story which encourages you to dream big and think creatively whilst recognising the importance of friends, familiarity and sharing successes. It also has both mole and moon fact files at the end - brilliant for non-fiction/trivia fans or, conversely, perfect for those a little unfamiliar or unsure about non-fiction to dip their toes cautiously in!
