This book was fictional my favourite character was Luna I recommend it to all of the younger children from about 0-10 years old.
My favourite part was when they launched to the moon in a cardboard box that they made into a spaceship. They asked Luna the dog if she wanted to come. When Sherman was going he said to bye to Grandad and that he had a good time.
Very enjoyable read. Highly recommended.
Grandpa was my favourite character because he talked like he was on a walkie-talkie all the time. My favourite part was when we learnt Sherman was really bad at guessing.
Great adventure and imagination, I liked it
it was ok, a bit slow, not an exciting book but a nice story
It is a lovely story of Sherman and his Grandpa who was an astronaut. They made their own spaceship and traveled to moon with their dog Luna in their imaginative world. Great story to read.
I enjoyed this book. It wasn't like any I've read before. I liked the pictures and how the story ends. I would recommend this to others.
I liked when Sherman wanted to go to the moon and they decided to build a spaceship and got to go with his grandad.
Great little book for children interested in the moon.
I liked the grandpa best because he has been to the moon and it was very interesting. I would definitly recommend!
I never knew someone did not like the fog.
I quite liked this book, but I didn't find it very exciting. I think it was written for younger children, maybe 5-7 year olds.
I like that he had a dog called Luna which means moon.
My favourite characters were Sherman and his grandpa and Luna and his mum. Actually that's all the characters!
I liked the way that Sherman and his grandpa played astronauts. It seemed like fun and made me want to play astronauts too.
I would recommend this book to anyone who likes space adventures.
Sherman loves his dog Luna.
Grandpa was the best character. I really like space so found the boon interesting. I would recommend this book to someone else

The book is about a boy who did not know his grandpa was an astronaut.he then find out that his grandpa was astronaut.
It was funny when they were feeling hungry and Mum zoomed up in another rocket to give them biscuits!
I think you'll like this book,and I've never read a book by him, if your a bookworm and can get hooked into a good book
My favourite story
I think this is an interesting book because it tells you some facts about the moon and it is a fun book.
Also it is about a little boy going to his grandpa (who was an astronaut when he was younger)and they built a spaceship together and the little boys dog went in with them.
I really like this book.
It was just like my grandpa and me. I loved reading it.
