In the beginning, Mummy Moon and the little moonbeam twins, Tom and Jamie, lived at home in England while Daddy Moon travelled the world far and wide, often being very far away from home. While he was away, Daddy Moon wrote letters home to Tom and Jamie to tell them all about his wonderful adventures. From these letters come the stories in this book which tell of Daddy Moon’s great adventures around the world and even beyond it.

An island surrounded by deadly man-eating sharks, a farewell party thrown for Gerald the Giraffe at Taronga Zoo, tea with Diana the Dragon on top of the Snowy Mountain, dancing fairies and many other wonderful stories. In all of these adventures, Daddy Moon was accompanied by his furry companion, a pet monkey who likes to be called just monkey.
