The hardback edition of this book was extremely well received with excellent reviews in the Times Educational Supplement, Child Education and Junior Education. The charming and nostalgic illustrations make this a book to treasure. It is set in lyrical rhyme with language that will encourage reader confidence, accompanied by tightly linked illustration and text that allows for easy follow-along. It introduces children to abstract concepts in an accessible way, and contains informative end-notes about the moon and the world at night. A strong 'friendship' theme is reiterated throughout the story.
