Description de l’éditeur
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.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Bedtime can be lonely, even with a pet cat for company, so a boy decides to chat with the moon outside his window. His questions, and the imaginary play they inspire, range from quotidian ("Do you like chocolate ice cream?) to philosophical (he imagines Moon has a "billion, trillion gazillion" friends, "But they're all so far away"). This is a sweet book, with lush, dense acrylics Cort's gorgeously blue night sky makes every other color glow and a comforting message that even a literal dark night of the soul will give way to a more confident sense of self ("I'm here" the boy tells the moon before drifting off, "Anytime you want to talk"). But despite the conceit, Simon (the Horrid Henry books) and Cort (Aliens Love Underpants!) don't make the Moon much of a focal point. When the boy wonders whether the Moon likes to pretend it's a pirate, it dons an eye patch, but most of the time it's absent from the boy's reveries altogether or a placidly smiling figure in the sky, more distantly maternal than buddy-buddy. Ages 3 5.
