Written by Margaret Spurling Illustrated by Danny Snell
I was given this book by my Supervising Teacher during one of my Uni Practicums. It is a beautifully illustrated book with an adorable story. The story centres around little bilby seeing the moon for the very first time. The problems begin when the moon begins to change and Bilby becomes very frantic that the moon has disappeared. Bilby is under the impression that a part of the moon has gone missing, so asks all the other Australian animals to look for it. It is a cute story that has proven to be loved by many children.
