The story of inventions, trials, and errors is paired with detailed, grand illustrations of a small mouse in a big world with an even bigger dream. The story is followed by a brief historical account of space travel. This book is a part of Kuhlmann's Mouse Adventures series.

A long time ago a mouse learned to fly . . . and crossed the Atlantic.

But what happened next? Torben Kuhlmann's stunning new book transports readers to the moon and beyond! On the heels of Lindbergh: The Tale of a Flying Mouse comes Armstrong: The Adventurous Journey of a Mouse to the Moon—where dreams are determined only by the size of your imagination and the biggest innovators are the smallest of all. The book ends with a brief non-fiction history of human space travel—from Galileo’s observations concerning the nature of the universe to man's first steps on the moon.
