Beautiful Illustrations And A Fun Fantasy

This is a beautiful picture book, the illustrations are so rich, my kids and I love them. The story is about a brother and sister who fly to the moon in the Crimson Comet a rocket ship the brother has made. It's a fun story. It reminds me of Jimmy Zangwow's Out of This World Moon Pie Adventure by Tony DiTerlizzi. If you like this you might like that as well.

The Crimson Comet

Morrissey has a wonderful style. He goes back to the tin metal and a chipped paint look of WW1. It's a unique style and we often use it in our paintings. Hope he has other book up and coming in 2007. :D
