Klappentext

Every day in Flatville, Simon C. Montgomery folded.

When Simon learns that a piece of paper folded forty-two times would reach the moon, he sets out to conquer his biggest folding challenge yet! But try as he might, he can only fold his paper seven times. Then the townspeople chip in to help make and fold a giant piece of paper with Simon--surely that will make it to the moon!--but when that plan fails too, Simon realizes there's more than one way to fold his way to the moon.

Debut author Jennifer Zaffini Lowe's funny, light-hearted text is buoyed by Shaw Nielsen's bright, whimsical artwork to create a light-hearted and informative story of determination, community, and astonishing mathematics.
