This wistful and whimsical story about a child's curiosity tells of a seemingly disappearing moon and leads to imaginative scenarios as to what could have happened to the moon the little one had just seen outside the bedroom window the night before. The wonderment is shared with pets long after bedtime. The child finally gets sleepy and is left with the questions posed and decides to go to sleep and ponder it all later. The story is told in rhyme.
