Bookroo's summary

One night Mole comes up out of the ground and sees the moon for the first time. It is the most beautiful thing he has ever seen, and he wants it, but however hard he tries he cannot pull it down. When he spots the moon in a puddle and reaches for it, it seems to break, and Mole is heartbroken until his friends show him the moon still shining in the sky.
