Mr. Squirrel and the Moon

(3) K-3 Translated by David Henry Wilson. When a wheel of cheese rolls off a cart, over a cliff, and lands in Mr. Squirrel's tree, Mr. Squirrel concludes that someone stole the moon and left it with him. A frantic brown squirrel and an enormous yellow "moon" stand out against intricate black-and-white illustrations, including several wordless spreads that contribute to the quiet tone of this gently humorous German import.
