Here, we go!
The days and nights passed by.
Digby checked the moon’s progress with his trusty measuring-ta

My nearest, dearest and wonderful family; young and old, big and small.

Thank you.
One night, Digby Fixit wakes to find his room
in too much darkness!
Discovering the moon in a frightful state,
he plans a clever mission to bring back the light of night.
