The classic story by one of the world's best-loved and acclaimed storytellers for children.
The man in the moon looks down on the happy, dancing people on Earth every night, wishing he could join them. He hitches a ride on a passing comet, but quickly finds himself thrown into jail by people who see him as an invader, rather than a friendly visitor. The Moon Man, however, has a most unusual – but perfectly logical – means of escape, and sets out to make his way back home. This is a quirky and gently satiric fable that children and adults are sure to find delightful.Download and start listening now!

Jean-Thomas “Tomi” Ungerer is a French illustrator and a writer in three languages. He has published over 140 books ranging from much loved children’s books to controversial adult work and from the fantastic to the autobiographical. He is known for sharp social satire and witty aphorisms. Ungerer received the international Hans Christian Andersen Medal in 1998 for his “lasting contribution” as a children’s illustrator. Born in 1931 in Strasbourg, in the Alsace region of France, Ungerer now divides his time between his farm in Ireland, near the ocean that he loves, and Strasbourg, where a museum dedicated to his work opened in late 2007.
