This book The Man on the Moon by Simon Bartram is a wonderful book to read. This is a straightforward book about a man's day at work on the moon, with an underlying humor to it. Bob is moon expert and knows for sure that there are no aliens on the moon at all. However, if you look closely when reading the book you can actually see the aliens. Bob travels to the moon on a daily basis and it only takes about 15 minutes for him to get there.
The illustrations are fantastic, beautiful affairs that gives loads of detail to look. The illustrations in the book keep you exploring for things to fins.
My personal opinions about this book is that is hilarious and entertaining. Young children with an imagination would love to read this book and find it quite entertaining.
I would ask my students the following questions.
1. If you had a chance to go to the moon, would you go and why?
2. Do you think that there are aliens on the moon? Why or why not?
Classroom activities:
1. Have the students take all the left over materials in the classroom to create a spaceship.
2. Since there are hidden aliens in the book, have the class to count out all the hidden aliens they find in the book.
