Illustrated by
Kate Wilkinson.
It's bedtime and Monkey Moon is missing, so Michael and his dad head back to the park to search for the beloved stuffed companion there. Shadowy full-spread acrylics softly illuminate the pair's flashlight-aided mission. Pulford conveys mood (the boy's distress, then his relief at finding Monkey Moon) at the expense of plot, but the quiet story would make a reassuring bedtime read.
