    About this audiobook

    One hungry Tuesday afternoon Jimmy Zangwow's stomach rumbles. He just has to have some milk and a chocolaty Moon Pie. But his mother says, "Of course not", and sends him outside to play. In the backyard, Jimmy climbs aboard the secret project he has been building - a junk jumbilee jalopy. It shakes and rattles, then rockets straight up. Suddenly Jimmy is high above the earth, flying toward the great Moon Pie maker. Maybe the slumbering moon will wake up and give him a tasty treat. A youngster at heart, Tony DiTerlizzi creates this kid-pleasing tale, complete with Mars Men and "out-of-this-world adventure." Narrator L.J. Ganser holds young readers captive while he answers the question: How far will Jimmy go to get his favorite snack?

      Not a fan of MoonPies as "food" but I love reading this to my kids. It's a great story with great art from a wonderful creator I'm proud to know.

      When Jimmy asks his mother for a Moon Pie, and she tells him he will have to wait until after dinner, the young boy wishes that his homemade jalopy could take him to the moon, where he can get his favorite treat in person. To his great surprise, his jalopy comes to life and whisks him off on an outer-space adventure, first to the moon, where he collects his Moon Pies, and then to the Milky Way, where he gets the milk he needs to go with the pies. When confronted by the terrifying Grimble Grinder, Jimmy flees, crash-landing on Mars. Will he share his Moon Pies with the Mars Men he meets? What will happen when the Grimble Grinder finds him...?Presenting an imaginative journey in which a young boy gets to hobnob with the Man in the Moon, a group of nine hundred and ninety-nine Mars Men, and a misunderstood interstellar monster, Jimmy Zangwow's Out-of-This-World Moon-Pie Adventure is an absolute hoot to read! The colorful artwork is every bit as engaging as the text, highlighting both the humor and the magical fun of Jimmy's adventure. I don't know if it was the theme, but the illustrations here reminded me a bit of some of William Joyce's work, such as that in his The Man In the Moon. I'm more used to the illustrations Tony DiTerlizzi has done for longer works of fiction, such as The Spiderwick Chronicles, so it was good to see some of his larger painted work. Recommended to anyone looking for entertaining and fantastic outer-space picture-book adventures.

      This is a great science fiction book about a little boy, Jimmy, who really wants a moon pie and some milk. His mother says it will spoil his dinner so he goes outside to his jalopy and wishes he could fly to the moon to get a moon pie and some milk. All of a sudden, his jalopy starts flying. He flies straight to the moon and after some miscommunication he gets 1000 moon pies. Next, he goes in search of milk in the milky way. As he is scooping up mild he gets knocked down to mars. There were 999 mars men there who were very hungry. Jimmy shared his pies with them only to get stopped from eating his by the Grimble Grinder. The Mars Men and Jimmy stood in fear that the Grimble Grinder was going to eat them. Then Jimmy offers his moon pie to him. This makes the Grimble Grinder very happy and helps settle his stomach enough for him to say thank you. Next the mars men and the Grimble Grinder help get Jimmy home just in time for dinner.

      This book takes us on an adventure into space to get some moon pies and the milky way to grab some milk. When you run into some aliens it just gets interesting. Illustrations rendered in watercolor, gouache, and colored pencil.Great fiction book for science.

      All Jimmy wants is a Moon Pie before dinner, but his mom will not let him until after dinner. Jimmy gets into his jalopy and travels to the moon to get a Moon Pie. When he gets there he decides that he needs milk to go with it. He sets out to the Milky Way and crashes on Mars. There he shares all of his Moon Pies with aliens. The Grimble Grinder and the other aliens help fix his jalopy so he can make it home in time for dinner. After dinner he finally gets to eat a Moon Pie.I liked this book so much that I have read it to several different classes at school. It is very cute. The cover of this book grabbed my attention. It has jimmy on the front standing on the top of the Earth. He is a very mischievous looking boy. The illustrations are excellent The illustrator uses vivid colors in his pictures. A person could practically read this book with the pictures alone. It is very imaginative.This would be a good book to read when starting a planet or outer space lesson. The book could help spark the interest of younger students. The teacher and students could have a discussion of what they think the moon, Mars, and the Milky Way are really like. Another extension is that the students may also design their own jalopy or space ship. The teacher could have the students make up their own out-of-this-world adventure and illustrate it.

      If you want a great story to read during a thunderstorm, try "Jimmy Zangwow's Out-Of-This-World Moon Pie Adventure" by Tony DiTerlizzi (of Spiderwick fame). Meet the alien Grimble Grinder that "RUMBLE GRUMBLE!"s his way through the story. My kids love reading this one during storms to scare the loud thunder away. The louder you "RUMBLE GRUMBLE!" the sooner the storm passes. This story will have you hunting every grocery store for Moon Pies!...Don't forget the milk!
