The Way Back Home

Oliver Jeffers has been a hot favourite always and my 1.5 year old absolutely loves this book. He is fascinated with aeroplanes and the moon, so this book is a delight for us to read! Love the way the story flows, the beautiful illustrations and wild imagination used! Go ahead and get this!

Short & sweet story. My son in love with this book. Pictures are so attractive.

My 3 yr old loves going back to this book over and over again. Its a lovely story about a boy and his airplane. Imaginative, funny, wonderful.

Production is good but costs little more.

I was recommended this author by a 5 yr old when I was asking his parents for books for my toddler. The book has very simple words, nice drawings, enough so you can easily turn pages and yet make sounds. Initially my kid liked only half the book and now she loves it next to the 'Goodnight Moon' book.

Love all three books in this series. This story is funny, silly and has aliens. Illustrations are simple and beautiful. One or two lines per page. Easy for 2.5 ye old to concentrate on a single scene. The words used are perfect as they are what she has been learning nowadays. So helps reinforce her learning.

May not be as good as writer's classic Lost and Found, yet it deserves five stars. The same little boy, one whom we first met in Lost and Found and then in Up and Down, has to land on the moon because his aeroplane runs out of petrol. On the moon, he meets a Martian adventurer like him, whose spaceship is out of order. Both the boys help out each other and become friends. We hope Jeffers continues with the story of developing friendship of the two boys living on different planets. My son loves the book. After receiving the copy, we have already made three readings. I also appreciate Amazon for giving me a refund of Rs.100/-- because the book had become crumpled due to poor packaging. I am a book collector and like to keep books for a long time in my library. Hence, the book's condition matters. Thanks Oliver Jeffers for one more wonderful book. We now have ALL THE BOOKS by the writer. And thanks Amazon for excellent service!

This is very engaging. The huge pages have something going on that you can ask the child to describe. It goes well with the bedtime for a under 5 year old hyperactive child.

This is an amazing book! Spike the imagination of a 4yr old incredibly. He already had the pages memorized, the next day. An airplane running out of gas, and a spaceship with a broken engine .. right down my 4 yr old’s alley !!

My 3 year old son really loves this book and other books written by Oliver Jeffers. I read his books to my son every night and he is so engaged. We can finish 3 books in a row. So glad that I have come across his books and read it to my son, it was worth it!

Oliver Jeffers is a favorite in our house. This book is super cute. We love the illustrations, and the story is sweet. It is a nice book for bedtime reading and my boys have come to recognize Oliver's wonderful illustrations and his quirky stories. If you like this one, I also highly recommend "This Moose Belongs to Me" and "Stuck."

Great book, important story. Good condition upon arrival.

My daughter loves it! Easy to read, amazing illustrations. Can't go wrong.
