Synopses & Reviews
Moon fell down one night...
Fell upon a farmer's lawn,
Rolled about in sheer delight
On fields he'd only shined upon.
When Moon falls down one night, he and an adventure-minded cow roan up hills and down, wander through city streets, and finally return back home at dawn.A joyous and lyrical romp, this picture book captures the magic and wonder of seeing familiar things in a whole new way.
