The Squirrel and the Moon

Said the squirrel to his mother, "I am going to the moon. The trip will take me not too long and I shall come home soon."
When a young squirrel sets out to bring a souvenir home from the moon, he discovers that his task is more daunting than he'd expected. Can he make it to the moon and back?
Jacob Haffner's poem about the adventure of a young squirrel is brought to life with vibrant illustrations by Clarissa Janeen. This book also includes sheet music so that parents and children can enjoy the story in song!
