Paper Moon
Join Poppy and her dog Peppy on an outer-space dance adventure, as they launch across the canvas sky towards the Paper Moon.
The moonlight is beautiful, shining across the bedroom floor as Poppy Diddle dozes off. But is all as calm as it seems? Suddenly, Poppy wakes up to discover that the MoonMoo (the cow that jumped over the moon) has got stuck on the Moon!
Poppy’s mission is clear - and she needs your help! Will you be Poppy’s friend at Astronaut School and help her build paper rockets to get to space?
