A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

'...Using a rich palette and flowing lines over starry, airbrushed backgrounds, Tavares places two delighted young explorers in brightly patterned garb soaring atop a celestial bear, flinging a planet like a Frisbee, waving wands or streamers and sailing over elegantly undulant landscapes...' --Kirkus Reviews

'This cheerful fantasy draws most of its energy from Brazilian artist Tavares' illustrations. They pair nearly scientific portaits of planets with two freckle-faced children who zip by them on paper airplanes, armchairs and hobby-horses...Most of Heine's text serves as a fantasy about space travel, but a multi-page afterward supplies facts about space, the solar system, planets and constellations...' --Publishers Weekly

'In bouncy rhythm, two young narrators-a boy and a girl featured in turn and sometimes together-visit several planets, constellations, and other heavenly bodies. Drawn in cartoon style and cunningly costumed for each venture, the children appear in vividly colored scenes that are rich in detail. In some settings, relevant mythological figures are sketched into the background. The set of brief poems is augmented with several pages of factual explanations of the solar system, the planets, and the sun, moon, and stars. These are particularly helpful since many of the concepts will be unfamiliar to younger children, and the combination offers a tool for introducing these topics...the bright tone of the poetry and the appealing, strong art are a happy combination.' --School Library Journal
