What happens
Dot the duckling is sure the moon has fallen into her pond — and she will not give up until she saves it. A friend helps her look up, then down, then up again. The pond is like a mirror: it shows the moon, but the real moon is safe above. Dot giggles. The moon wasn't stuck — it was just saying hello.
Why it works at bedtime
Short, luminous, and perfect for winding down. Time for little ducks to sleep.
Read “The Moon in the Pond” tonight
It's in MoonPage along with the rest of the library — far more stories than we show here, with new ones added all the time. Illustrated, narrated, fully offline. No ads, no login, and some stories are free.
More animal stories
