Luna wonders where the moon goes all day when it vanishes from the sky. At night she dreams (in wordless spreads) of what might happen to it, but only once she rules out several options does she discover the truth. In the imaginative text, precocious Luna poses a pertinent question for curious readers. Deep-hued, digitally rendered retro-style illustrations are eye-pleasingly playful.

With Santa too sick to deliver presents, his daughter Jeannette makes the trip. "Everything was going exactly right," until the impertinent reindeer leave her stranded on a rooftop, with the gift drop-off only half completed. Resourceful Jeannette manages to get the job done and even provide a home for some cheerful stray cats and dogs. The stylish cartoon illustrations exude warmth and attitude.
