Material from a previous blog:
Do you have an adventerous, inventing, imagination filled little boy at your house? Well, here’s a really fun picture book to look for at the library. It’s a bonus if you like Moon-Pies too! We actually checked this book out because my E6 is a real live Jimmy Zangwow look alike! When I saw the book I said, "E, if you were a drawing this is exactly what you would look like!" They are a match from the red hair, freckles, boots, goggles, scarf, & big belt. My E6 is all about costumes & accessorizing & he says he is going to an inventor when he grows up.
Jimmy Zangwow’s Out-of-this-World Moon Pie Adventure by Tony Diterlizzi is a really fun imaginary adventure of a boy who gets turned down when he asks for his favorite snack-moon pies of coarse! And who can blame his Mom- she doesn’t want to ruin his brussels-sprout-noodle-bean casserole. So to pass the time before supper he takes a trip in his junk jumbilee jalopy to see the moon, the Milky Way, Mars, some martians & one Grimble Grinder.
It’s just a fun book with great art & it showcases the imagination of a little boy. It’s also a really fun time saying expressions like "Gadzooks, Jumping June bugs! & zip pip kaboodle." This book could be be worked into a lesson on space, math (the milk is in pints, quarts & gallons & there are 999 mars men,) the spirit of inventing, sharing, or even poor snack choices (if you want to be a real downer.) My suggestion however, is to check this book out & buy a box of Moon-Pies to enjoy together after you read it.
By the way, loud burping is used to save the day in the end so if that offends you pass this one up. But let’s be honest if you’re not used to burping you probably don’t need books for boys anyway! Here is my E6 with his own Junk Jumbilee Jalopy (what can I say, he was inspired!) It even has an emergency shoot (umbrella,) headlights (mason jars,) & a Moonpie holder (cardboard box.)
