Templar, 9781840114911 | Suggested age range: 6-7

Follow a day in the life of Bob, the Man on the Moon, in this fresh story about life out in space which is told with the most delightful deadpan humour. Every day, Bob gets up and goes about his daily business. He looks after the Moon keeping it swept and tidy, entertaining visitors who expect to see him moonwalking and selling them souvenirs. At four-thirty the visitors must leave so Bob checks that everyone has departed safely before packing everything up and heading for home. But there's one thing that Bob doesn't know anything about. Aliens! Readers do and they love the joke that is going on in the illustrations behind Bob's back.
