From the publisher

Pluto Rocket and Joe Pidge jet off to the moon (and beyond!) in the fourth book of this hilarious early graphic novel series, for fans of Narwhal and Jelly and Pizza and Taco! Joe Pidge, king of the neighborhood, and Pluto Rocket, an alien who’s new in town, have left Earth for the moon in order to convince Pluto’s three dads that she didn’t go to Earth at all. Her dads believe Earthlings aren’t nice, so she’s banned from visiting. But interstellar hijinks ensue! The two friends accidentally land on an asteroid, thinking it’s the moon – and in trying to convince poor Joe that outer space isn’t scary, Pluto ends up breaking the asteroid in two! Later, the duo meet the lone resident of the moon, Moon Man Moe, who is obsessed with golf and fulfilling his dream of landing a hole in one . . . in a moon crater. And finally, when Pluto’s dads arrive, the gang has to convince them that Earthlings are, in fact, nice – but an unexpected visitor, a certain orange rabbit, causes a world of trouble in the fourth book of this hilarious graphic novel series by Paul Gilligan, creator of the syndicated comic strip Pooch Café!
