Review:
Mansfield traces a rocket s journey to the moon over six vertically oriented spreads all the better to convey the force needed to achieve liftoff. The pop-up elements in each spread aren t complicated or ornate, yet they are strikingly effective in their simplicity. Wavy ribbons of smoke and flame pour from the rocket s base during blast-off, while zigzagging flames and the rocket s segmented body give later pages something of an Art Deco influence. Mansfield keeps the identity of the rocket s pilot (mostly) hidden until the final spread, when readers discover that this stylish and playful journey into space is more about homecoming than exploration. Ages 4 8. (Aug.) -Publishers Weekly in a starred review"
