About This Book
In this charming and humorous picture book, Bob, the familiar man on the moon, finds himself feeling lonely and wishing for a true best friend. As he contemplates where to find such a companion for his intergalactic duties and quiet hobbies, readers will delight in the playful irony that he remains utterly unaware of the enthusiastic, dog-like alien who is constantly trying to get his attention and prove his friendship. It's a gentle, funny story about the universal desire for connection and the sometimes-obvious answers that are right in front of us. Perfect for ages 4-8, it encourages conversations about friendship, observation, and valuing those who care about us.
