Nico Visits the Moon

by Honorio Robledo Tapia

Nico is a wild and adventurous boy—never-mind that he's still crawling. One afternoon, he crawls right past his family and out the door. Luckily some balloons are close at hand to carry him to the farthest stars. He's happy there, playing on the moon. Will he come home? Only just in time to start kindergarten. A fanciful meandering story with light-hearted 'airy' illustrations—perfect for floating. Author/illustrator Honorio Robledo was born in Mexico in 1954. He lives in Los Angeles with his family. His comic strip "La Cubeta" runs in the La Opinión weekly in Los Angeles. He illustrated El Cucuy!, by Joe Hayes. Nico Visits the Moon will also be available in Nico Visita La Luna.

It was weird with strange, creepy drawings. I didn't like it and neither did the kids.
