Illustrated by
Nicoletta Ceccoli.
One night pet cat Oscar jumps from a garage roof to the moon. There he befriends some "mooncats" and has a blast--until he hears his boy sadly calling to him from Earth. The plot and wordy text serve as vehicles for the author's larger point about loyalty. More interesting are the mixed-media illustrations, which have a 3-D look.
