What to expect: Space and Cats
If you think a space-themed book starring a spunky cat sounds fun, you’d be right! Danny and the Moon is an entertaining picture book starring Danny the cat, and his aspirations of visiting the moon.
Danny is a curious cat. One night he wonders if the moon is made of cheese and, with the help of his brother Kipp, he enrolls for astronaut school. Danny studies hard, finishes his training, graduates, and arrives at the moon via rocket ship. Much to Danny’s amazement, he discovers that the moon is not made up of cheese but of rocks, mountains, craters, and dust. Returning to Earth as the first cat on the moon, he gifts his family with souvenir moon rocks that tie into the unexpected dreamy ending.
Sparse and well-picked text delivers this short tale in conjunction with the cheery, textured illustrations created in myriad shades of nighttime purples. There’s some hidden humor in the artwork, too—be sure to look for the cat in astronaut school attempting to read a ‘space school’ book upside-down.
Danny and the Moon is short, sweet, and perfect for any young reader—in particular, readers who have a strong sense of curiosity and who love to giggle.

Danny and his brothers are truly curious cats! No matter how hard the day might have been, they are always right beside you, letting you know it will be alright.
