I picked this up at a library book sale, it had been
discarded from the library, so it isn't a brand new book by any means. I don't
know why I got it, maybe the artwork looked interesting. It's about a man and
his dog on the moon, after all. For some reason, my son got obsessed with it.
He doesn't let us read it, there are too many words for a 2
year old. But the gist of the story is that the man and his dog live quietly
and peacefully on the moon. Once a year, the hippy fairies show up on their
hippy bus and disrupt the quiet! The dog loves it. He loves them. Then he goes
with them back to their planet and they aren't as nice to him there. He misses
his man. So the man comes to get the dog and they live happily ever after. The
moral of the story is: don't let fun get in the way of comfort. Or
something like that. The lesson I learned is: for a two year old, artwork is
more important than stories.
