Man on the Moon

I really like that the author starts out the book with Bob being an ordinary man in regular clothes in his house. The first picture shows him holding a cup of coffee and waving. This teaches kids that astronauts really are normal people that do normal things. It is so fun that he goes to work every day like anyone else would, but actually works on the moon. It is also funny that Bob reads the newspaper on the way up to the moon, like it is no big deal. His job is to clean the moon. I love the part where it says, "there's no such thing as aliens". Then you turn the page and the whole next page is filled with an image of aliens with no words. It is creative that there is also a man on Mars and a man on Saturn that he eats lunch with. Everything is very imaginative which makes it science fiction but is based on the truth, that people really do go to the moon. It is funny that throughout the book, Bob talks about there not being any aliens, but the little kid reading could probably point out that there are aliens hiding in most of the images. Then at the very end, it shows Bob as an alien and then shows his house surrounded by little aliens popping out. It is interesting that the book leaves the reader to wonder whether or not there really is such thing as aliens. It also gives the reader an imagination to think about what goes on on the moon.
