Another Day in the Milky Way, David Milgrim

Another Day in the Milky Way is a picture book from the Science Fiction genre.  It is about a boy who woke up on the wrong planet; this was not the first time it happened.  However, he did not know how he got there or how to get home.  He asked for help but everyone was too busy.  He found a horse that was really a donkey that made him even more confused.  They tell him to go see the Starman on the Hill.  He finally falls asleep and wakes up at home.  This is a cute adventure book that I think students would really like.


This book is about adventure.  So as an activity to go with this book I would ask my students to get creative.  I would have them write about how they think he got to the other planet and then have them come up with another way for him to get home other than him falling asleep.  This will give them a chance to practice their writing.  If my students have a blog they will do this as a blog post.  It will be a great activity that students will benefit from.
