About this ebook

When the sun suddenly disappears on an ordinary Tuesday morning, young Felix Fontaine sets out with a torch and a magnifying glass to catch the culprit.

It's a perfectly bright Tuesday in the village of Dribbling, and Felix is enjoying a buttery crumpet — until the sunshine vanishes without warning. Convinced a scoundrel has flipped a switch somewhere, Felix launches a dramatic investigation, interrogating the local baker (who only has sausages, biscuits, and pies) and accusing Sir Reginald Fluff, a shockingly fat cat, of batting the sun away for a snooze. When both suspects prove innocent, Felix falls to his knees in despair — only to look up and discover a black rocky circle with a glowing silvery ring. It wasn't a burglar, a switch, or a cat. The moon simply fancied a bit of a chat.

Perfect for toddlers and early readers (ages 2–6), Who Turned Off The Sun? is a beautifully illustrated picture book about a little boy who discovers that even the most alarming mysteries can have the most wonderful explanations.

Kids and parents will love:

A Hilarious Young Detective: Felix is dramatic, determined, and completely wrong about everything — children will love following his increasingly absurd investigation and spotting the real answer before he does.

Bouncy, Rhythmic Rhymes: Lively couplets on every page that are a joy to read aloud and help build early language and listening skills.

A Gentle Introduction to Solar Eclipses: The story turns a potentially frightening natural event into something magical and funny, giving children a first taste of astronomy wrapped in humour.

Wonderful Vocabulary: Words like "diabolical," "celestial," "melodramatic," and "scoundrel" are woven naturally into the rhymes, stretching young listeners' language in a playful way.
