Synopsis (Goodreads)
Zoe is hanging her pants out to dry one day,
when - whoosh! A big gust of wind blows her and Beans up, up, up into space -
along with the washing line full of pants! When they finally land on the Moon,
there's a lot of exciting exploring to do. But how on earth are they going to
get home again?
Review: 3 ½ out of 5 stars
Miss 7 absolutely
adores this book! It is a very easy book for her to read but she is more obsessed
with the beautifully detailed illustrations and of little Zoe’s antics with her
pants and her doggy companion, Beans.
The story begins with
little Zoe hanging her washing and a gust of wind blowing her into space and
onto the moon; she is initially upset but then realises there is a whole moon
to explore or as my daughter exclaimed ‘she gets to have a fun adventure’.
It is a sweet story
and one that kept us entertained but it didn’t have a clear, defined message;
it was all for fun but it was lovely to share this book with my daughter; we
are excited to pick up the other books in this series.
Examples of the
wonderful illustrations can be found on the Zoe and Beans website as
well as some fun activities and a delicious biscuit recipe!
