"A grand flight of fancy perfect for a new generation of dreamers and planners." --Kirkus Reviews, starred review

"Gerstein, a Caldecott-winning illustrator, offers a uniquely entertaining picture book that glows with the satisfaction of a boy who knows he could travel to the moon." --Booklist, starred review

"...genuine and infectious..." --Publishers Weekly

"Readers . . . are sure to enjoy the ride." --School Library Journal

"There's enough reference here to the actual challenges of space travel to justify a quirky side trip in a solar system science unit--not that flights of fancy require justification." -- BCCB

In this simple, step-by-step instructional picture book, learn how you too can visit the moon on your bicycle! All you need is a very long garden hose, a very large slingshot, a borrowed spacesuit, and a bicycle . . . and plenty of imagination. With tongue firmly in cheek, Caldecott Medal winner Mordicai Gerstein outlines the steps needed in glorious comic book-style panels and a deadpan voice, leaving nothing out: the food you'll eat, how to deal with loneliness in space, how to water those sunflower seeds once they're planted—even how to deal with the media attention back home after a successful trip. An inspired work of whimsy, How to Bicycle to the Moon to Plant Sunflowers is a spacefaring adventure for daydreamers and a starter kit for the imagination.
