A review by dodie
Martin on the Moon by Martine Audet, Luc Melanson, Sarah Quinn

5.0

I love this book on so many levels! The artwork is fantastic, and the story has a personal connection. My son was just like Martin in elementary school. It was annoying to some teachers that he seemed like he wasn't listening, but when they asked a question, he knew the answer! His 4th grade teacher used to say that Paul wandered off to Bermuda... but always came back. Like Martin, my son would tell his classmates what he was thinking about, and even though they laughed sometimes, they appreciated his stories. Paul just graduated from high school, and I gave both him and his 4th grade teacher a copy of the book - they both had tears in their eyes. Her comment - "The book reminded me of how much we, as teachers, learn from our students." A beautiful book, perfect for gift-giving and read-alouds.
