Not having much success discovering the treasure, Timmy decides he is going to have to go to the moon but how? Read this chapter book (8 chapters) aloud to your child or give it to your independent readers. No one can ever say that Timmy does not have a very ACTIVE imagination! CUTE story that will encourage your child's imagination to soar!
I downloaded this book to my Kindle. I was not required to write a review but chose to do so. Thanks, Liz

Young Timmy is spellbound by the moon. Hearing it is made of cheese or of chocolate did not deter his fascination, even when his 6th grade teacher Mr. Garcia tells him it is simply `a boring old rock' but a rock that contains the greatest treasure known to man! Mr. Garcia tells Timmy that if he can discover that treasure and draw a picture of it, his reward will be a flying model rocket kit. Timmy searches the internet at home and discovers that titanium is more valuable than gold so deciding that was the moon's treasure he drew a picture for Mr. Garcia who tells Timmy the treasure is even more valuable than titanium. Puzzled, Timmy knows he cannot find the treasure on Earth but ponders how he can get to the moon. He hears his neighbor bouncing on a trampoline and an idea pops into focus - he tries to make his own trampoline to bounce to the moon, but hasn't the materials to accomplish this...until his mother shares he should use rubber bands and bungee cords to knit a bouncy blanket. It worked, and Timmy bounced to the moon where he meets astronauts who inform him there is no treasure on the moon - but look back toward the Earth revealed a beautiful jewel. Returning to Earth he drew a picture of the jewel appearing Earth and Mr. Garcia awarded him with two flying rocket kits. Never without dreams, Timmy considers flying to Mars!
As if the story were not satisfying enough, the authors have inserted questions for their readers - questions that stimulate imagination and enhance the adventure. This is a first class storybook - terrific on every level. And there are others...!!! Highly recommended. Grady Harp, July 14

One of the best things about this chapter book is at the end of each chapter, it asks the reader to predict what they think will happen next, or if something Timmy is about to try would work. This is a simple story for beginning readers and it helps them with their prediction skills, which are important not only for reading, but also for science.
This story is about a young boy named Timmy who loved to look at the moon and would stare up in space at it. He thought it was made of cheese when he was younger, and his brother told him it was made of white chocolate. For many years, Timmy believed the moon was made out of food.
He was in sixth grade before he found out the truth, that the moon was made up of dirt and rocks. However Mr. Garcia told Timmy there was also a treasure on the moon, and if Timmy knew what it was and could draw a picture of it, he would win a model rocket. He searches the internet and shows Mr. Garcia a drawing of Titanium, however it wasn’t the answer. The only way he’ll find out, he thinks, is to go to the moon itself.
Timmy tries various ways to get to the moon, but he does finally make it. He discovers the view of Earth from the moon and draws a picture, thinking it was the most beautiful thing he’d ever seen. When he returned from the moon, he got two model rockets from Mr. Garcia. He also was grounded for a month for leaving the Earth without permission.
