Translated by David Henry Wilson.
In this hefty picture book, a determined mouse proves to his brethren that the moon is not made of cheese. He perfects a rocket for a lunar expedition while working under the noses of humans tackling space travel. Sepia-tinted paintings and wordless spreads evoke a sense of wonder and scale for the little astronaut's historic journey. "A Short History of Space Travel" is appended.
