Description
Kit’s family doesn’t do normal holidays – they live for BIG adventures. But this time, they’ve gone too far: they’re moving to the MOON.
Kit isn’t so sure. The Moon is just a big, dusty rock – no air, no food, and nothing to do. How will they survive? Where will they live? And HOW do they go to the toilet?
Join slightly-nervous Kit, her robopet, and her fearless family as they blast off into the unknown and discover just how to live successfully on the moon . . . wee hoovers and all!
Packed with real science and fascinating facts, it’s the perfect space adventure for budding astronauts and curious minds alike.

Catherine Cawthorne and Harry Woodgsges, We’re Moving to the Moon is such a lovely, imaginative story and one I’d really like to share with my class in the future. It captures that sense of excitement and uncertainty around change in a way children can easily relate to. I think it would lead to some great chats about feelings—especially moving, friendships, and trying something new. The illustrations are bright and engaging, and I can picture my pupils really connecting with them. It would also be great for some simple writing or role-play ideas. A really sweet book that I’m sure the children would enjoy.

A lovely illustrated children’s story. This follows an adventurous family who move to live on the moon. Very funny and beautifully written with fantastic illustrations. My daughter and I read this together and really enjoyed it. Highly recommended.

We're Moving to the Moon is a fun, educational adventure that perfectly blends storytelling with fascinating real-life science. Through Kit's nervous but relatable perspective, young readers are taken on an exciting journey to discover what life on the Moon could really be like.
The story answers the kinds of questions children naturally ask, from where astronauts might live and what they would eat, to the all-important question of how they would use the toilet in space. The information is presented in a way that's easy to understand without ever feeling like a lesson, making learning feel like part of the adventure.
The illustrations are bright, engaging and full of personality, bringing the lunar landscape and Kit's family to life. The inclusion of Kit's robopet adds an extra layer of fun, while the family's sense of adventure encourages readers to stay curious and embrace the unknown.
This is an excellent choice for children with an interest in space, science or exploration. It entertains while inspiring curiosity, making it a wonderful addition to home libraries, classrooms and school libraries alike.
