Description

When Molly and her family move to the moon, they can only pack the essentials-limited to one toy each for Molly and her little brother Luke. But luckily, Molly has a big imagination. A packing crate becomes a fort, a tarp becomes a witch's cape, and some cans become a tea set. Baby Luke, on the other hand, has nothing but a few blocks. Soon, big sister Molly discovers that whether you have all the toys in the universe, or just a few, playtime is more fun when you share it with someone you love.
