Zoe and Beans: Pants on the Moon!
by Chloe and Mick Inkpen
As Zoe is hanging her pants out to dry one day, a sudden gust of wind blows across the garden and sends her and her scruffy dog, Beans, up into the sky, beyond the clouds... and all the way to a bumpy landing on the moon!
Despite a sore bottom and moon dust all over her clean pants, Zoe looks on the bright side and relishes a rare opportunity to explore the moon and have an upside-down party. Being ever-resourceful, she uses plenty of imagination and the very sparse moon resources to find her way safely home.
Another beautifully illustrated winner from the Inkpen father and daughter team, Pants on the Moon is a sweet and wonderfully entertaining picture book, with a laugh-out-loud final page.
