Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
"Nobody Owns the Moon is a standout classic for all ages, a masterly tale of friendship and dignity that fits perfectly into any hand, paw or hoof"--Shaun Tan
*" Respectful of children's intelligence, the book presents topics such as friendship, acceptance, belonging, and otherness that will challenge them to think further."-- Kirkus Reviews , starred review
Clive Prendergast is a fox who lives successfully in the city, in a one-room apartment in a busy part of town. Humphrey is a donkey who works odd jobs and doesn't always have a fixed address. Nobody Owns the Moon is the story of their friendship. This modern classic picture book is a perfect marriage of text and image and timeless in its message of belonging and community.
Clive Prendergast is a fox with a regular job and a place to call home. His friend Humphrey is a struggling donkey with no fixed address. Life in the city is a mixed bag for these two, but a special looking blue envelope is about to change everything for one wonderful night. Suggested level: junior, primary.
