About the Gawk And The Spaceman Art And Story By Joe Cowin

Gawk and the Spaceman Art and Story by Joe Cowin.

This is s a sweet and imaginative story that celebrates curiosity and the unexpected.

It’s a gentle reminder that even small adventures can bring a sense of wonder to our lives.

Perfect for bedtime reading, this book invites young readers to dream of colourful planets, quirky creatures, and the marvels of the unknown.

Joe delivers a delightful whimsical children’s story set in space on a Jungle planet (Fungle) with a cast of weird and wonderful creatures.

The friends on Fungal prefer nothing to happen each day and to just enjoy being with each other.

Although Gawk is kind of hoping for a little something different and when a travelling Spaceman lands on the planet, he gets his wish!

The creatures' reactions—ranging from fear and curiosity to awe—mirror the innocent wonder and also slight apprehension children might feel when encountering something unfamiliar.

Joe captures a childlike sense of imagination and humour in his writing that mimics perfectly our little children’s minds!

The dialogue between Gawk and his friends, such as the grumpy plants and Eyupp’s preference for “no surprises,” feels authentic.

The vivid descriptions of the jungle and the amusing misunderstanding of the spaceman’s intentions add layers of charm to the narrative.

Gorgeously gentle in the story and brilliantly vibrant in the art, this was a sublime read.
