Rocketmole by Matt Carr (author and illustrator)

Armstrong the mole is fed up with living underground. His friends think building a rocket to visit the moon is an astronomically bad idea, but Armstrong is a mole on a mission. On the moon, Armstrong bounces around in his space suit, but soon starts to miss his cautious mole mates. How can a mole with big dreams combine adventure and friendship? A brave and bold new picture book by Matt Carr, perfectly timed for the 50th moon landing anniversary.
