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.
