Description
Come on an adventure to the moon and back with Moon Mouse as he sets off on an epic journey through space, discovering friendship and connection on the way.
Moon Mouse lives far out in space, with only his garden and his ideas for company. Mouse loves his moon home, but sometimes, when he spies a birthday party on Earth through his telescope, he finds himself wishing he could join in with the fun.
Then one day, a birthday balloon floats away from a birthday boy and up, up, up - all the way to Moon Mouse's garden! Will Mouse find the courage to leave the comfort and security of his home to discover what it means to make a friend?
A magical tale of friendship, connection and bravery from Corrinne Averiss, multi-award-winning author of My Pet Star, illustrated by prize-winning artist Lorna Hill.
'Hill's exquisitely emotive and stylish artwork blends sublimely with Averiss's magical, rhyming adventure as young readers are transported on an epic journey to the moon and back, and discover the joys of friendship, kindness and bravery along the way.' Lancaster Guardian
'An emotive tale of friendship woven together with elegant rhymes and beautiful illustrations.' The Scotsman
