Mole thinks the moon is the most beautiful thing he's ever seen, so he sets about retrieving it - but bringing down the moon is not as easy as he thinks! Walker Books have collaborated with King Rollo Films to create this gently animated DVD, packaged with the classic picture book. Read by Kevin Whately ("Inspector Morse", "Peak Practice"), with specially composed music, this is an innovative combination that will delight and entertain young viewers again and again.

About the Author:
Jonathan Emmett worked as an architect, designing an art gallery and a theatre, but is now a full-time writer. His books include No Place Like Home and Diamond in the Snow. He lives in Nottingham. Vanessa Cabban has illustrated several picture books, including the bestselling Dear Tooth Fairy and Dear Father Christmas by Alan Durant. She lives in Northumberland.
From Publishers Weekly:
"Hot diggety!" exclaims plump Mole when he sees the full moon for what is apparently the first time. And indeed, the moon is at its most fetching, glowing in the cobalt-blue night sky "like a bright silver coin." Mole spends the balance of the book engaged in sweetly comic attempts to pry the moon out of the sky. His woodland pals try to warn him off the plan, each one pointing out, "It's not as close as it looks." But that doesn't stop Mole from trying to leap for it, poke it, knock it down with acorns or simply grab it from a high tree branch. Finally, it dawns on him: the moon's beauty lies in the fact that everyone can enjoy it (and besides, Mole now notes sagely, "It's NOT as close as it looks!"). Author and artist seem ideally paired for this well-traveled but sweet tale. In Emmett's unadorned, gentle prose, Mole never seems the least bit avaricious he's just genuinely enchanted by the moon's ethereal beauty. As was true in her Down in the Woods at Sleepytime, Cabban's creatures radiate genuine affection for one another. Keeping the detailing in her settings to a minimum there's just enough to provide a proper stage for Mole's pratfalls Cabban lets the luminescence of the sky and moon hold center stage. It's easy to see why Mole is so thoroughly captivated. Ages 3-6.
