Hello Moon

A magical bedtime story about a little boy who makes friends with the moon, from the author of HORRID HENRY and the illustrator behind ALIENS LOVE UNDERPANTS.

When a little boy decides to talk to the moon at bedtime, his questions are seemingly endless. He wants to know all about the moon and how far it can see - from the sky-topped mountains, to the very bottom of the sea, where the mermaids swim. Does the moon have a bouncy bed? Does it like eating chocolate ice-cream? And does the moon feel lonely sometimes?

Perfect for sharing at bedtime, this dreamy, thoughtful story touches on themes of friendship and kindness.
