An adventure story that explains the phases of the moon

Bradley fears the moon is lost. He can’t convince his family that there is a problem, so he enlists his dog and his cat to travel to space to find the moon and put it where it belongs. The trip is full of danger. All three become quite homesick and fear that they will never get back home. But along the way, they make new friends and learn why Bradley could not see the moon.
