Hello Moon

Description

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. Previously published as DO YOU SPEAK ENGLISH MOON?
