The Moon Is a Ball Summary

The Moon Is a Ball: Stories of Panda and Squirrel by Ed Franck

Join Panda and Squirrel in nine funny, wise and thoughtful stories about the meaning of friendship by two world greats of children's literature. Perfect for emerging readers.

Panda and Squirrel have an unbreakable friendship. They can't live without each other and do everything together: lie on the rocks to look at the moon, take walks, play games. One of their journeys lasts for only two steps, another day they discover a newly hatched duckling. Sometimes they argue but they always make up again. This is a friendship for any day: roaring, quiet, grumbling, snoring...always.

This beautiful hardback storybook, with full-color illustrations throughout, features down-to-earth and warm-hearted friendship stories that reach straight from the soul of one six-year-old to another.

Perfect for emerging readers or for reading aloud together, it's a book to read again and again.

Written by Ed Franck, one of Belgium's most important and innovative children's writers, and illustrated by The Tjong-Khing, a world-leading illustrator for children, whose many accolades include nomination for the Hans Christian Andersen Award.

Translated from the Dutch edition by David Colmer.
