Mungo and the Spiders from Space

32 pp. | Dial | April, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8037-3277-3 $16.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Adam Stower. Mungo discovers the last page is missing from his secondhand picture book; how will he learn what happens to Captain Galacticus and Gizmo? Mungo himself provides the ending when, suddenly, he is pulled into the book and saves the universe. The brightly colored comic-book format, busy with rocket ships, space creatures, and humorous details, weaves Mungo's story into this metafictional adventure.
