Dog & Hat search for some dreamy moon magic!
When Ant sets out to visit her cousins on moon, Dog and Hat join the journey, hoping to arrive in time to have a picnic during a very special moon occasion—a lunar eclipse. Can the trio overcome the many obstacles to get there in time?
Dreams, jokes, and curiosities abound in this wonderfully strange and funny adventure where Dog and Hat (and Ant!) discover that big dreams are possible when friends provide help along the way.
Can you imagine anything more magical?
"A madcap graphic novel debut, [with] color-saturated panels . . . humorous details and hidden objects."
—Publishers Weekly
"Expect to giggle over the fun facts, puns [and] jokes. . . . A treat for the eyes."
—Kirkus Reviews
“...wonderfully surreal. This out-of-this-world adventure proves that with good friends and happy thoughts, any dream can be realized.”
—Kirkus Reviews
