"There's a new moon out tonight, " said Bobby.
"I wonder what they did with the old one?" asked Betty.
"I stole it."
"Moonthief."
"To give to you."
What should Betty do with the old moon? She could play frisbee with it, she could use it as a silver tray and serve lemonade on it, she could go skating on it...Bobby has endless ideas about what Betty could do. He's such a silly bear. But of all the bears in the whole wide moonlit world, Betty loves him best!
Roger McGough's lyrical text makes this wistful, charming, and oh, so romantic story of a small bear and his wild and wonderful imagination a treat for any child, for parent--and anyone in love!
