Cosmo's Moon

40 pp. | Sleeping Bear | October, 2003 | Trade ISBN 1-58536-123-2 $$15.95

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Mark Braught & Mark Braught. Cosmo and the moon are good friends; however, the moon starts to follow Cosmo day and night, which results in around-the-clock darkness and lots of trouble. With Cosmo's help, the moon finally realizes that "never saying goodbye means you never get to say hello." The moon looks slightly sinister in some of the quirky illustrations, which adds another (probably unintentional) dimension to this offbeat story.
