Dmitri the Astronaut

Based on the popular book Dmitri the Astronaut by Jon Agee.
Head to the moon with us. What will we find? Explore outer space, collect moon rocks (what made those craters?), eat freezed-dried ice cream, and find out if the moon is really made of cheese. Maybe we'll explore the dark side of the moon. Who knows what we might find there? (What's Lulu doing?) Our adventures will be celebrated in our own Space Museum, and maybe aliens from other planets will come along to see what we've been up to!
