When Fox (Apples for Little Fox) wakes up in the night, the moon is gone. Determined to solve this mystery, detective Fox and his friends find that Rabbit has taken down the moon to clean it. The animals put the now-shiny moon back in the sky (depicted in a vertical double-page spread). The digital art uses geometric shapes and muted colors on matte paper for a simple, bold style.

Fox hopes to be a famous detective like the ones in his favorite books. When he finds that a neighboring apple tree has been picked clean, Fox methodically sets about solving the case. With clean backgrounds, simple shapes, and bright autumnal colors, the illustrations are full of entertaining details (including important clues). This cheery tale introduces conventions of the mystery genre to the youngest sleuths.
