"A chart compares how long each creature or object would take to
get to the moon--a good exercise in understanding comparisons, as
well as chart-reading. The illustrations are active and
bright."--Kirkus Reviews
"Always in sync with the way children think, Wells takes each
concept and makes it concrete, vivid, and understandable as he
takes it to its logical conclusion. Even better, the illustrations
make it all fun, taking the characters on an improbable journey
through space at ever-accelerating speeds. A trip children won't
want to miss."--Booklist
"The bright pen and acrylic illustrations add humor to the simple
text...This book will be very useful for teachers and parents when
talking about speed with young learners."--Children's
