Summary

This is Max. Max is very sleepy. It's way past Max's bedtime. Max has drunk his milk. Max has brushed his teeth. Max has cleaned behind his ears. Now Max just needs to say goodnight...
Max is tired and all ready for bed, but when he can't find the moon to say goodnight to, he sets out to find it. But that's not as easy as Max had hoped... Witty and heart-warming, this stylish and beautifully illustrated book is the perfect bedtime read.

Reviews

  • Vere's playful, minimalist illustrations are just right for this quiet story. Some might wonder how the cat will cope with a new moon, but everyone will be rooting for Max, and hoping he returns in another adventure.
    Peter Brown, The New York Times
