The Boy Who Climbed into the Moon by David Almond

Quick Overview

The 2014 National Curriculum states that children should be encouraged to establish an appreciation and love of reading... this brilliant David Almond story will feed their imagination. The perfect class reader and great stimulus for countless literacy activities.

In our opinion this is a delightful book to read aloud to any Key Stage Two class. Whilst the younger children will be captured by the imaginative storylines and strange characters, Year 6 children will appreciate the humour and absurdities. With a teacher reading it, you can stop and appreciate the twists in the story and the strange characters along the way. The original story will spark a lot of imaginative thinking and could be used to inspire some great short stories or even drama work.


Paul believes that the moon is not the moon, but is a great hole in the sky. It's one of many strange ideas that he's never told anyone (at school he was told that he had no ideas at all), until he meets Molly, his irrepressible neighbour, who begins to convince him that his theory might just change the world. Helped by a very long ladder, some highly irregular characters, two rather worried parents and a great deal of community spirit, Paul takes to the sky. But his astonishing discovery there can't keep him away for long - what is waiting for him back at home is turning out to be better than he'd ever imagined.

"There really is nobody quite like Almond writing in children's or adult's fiction today." (The Times)

"This deceptively simple, surreal tale about freedom, imagination and friendship is illustrated with quirky empathy by Polly Dunbar." (Sunday Times)"
