One evening, though, the moon didn't appear in the sky. 

"Who Stole the Moon?" With this serious question, "detective" Bertie set out on his adventure. Help solve the mystery! Meet some amazing animal friends. Play games with them and sing together. Join Bertie on his quest with this charming bedtime story that will gently nurture your child's imagination and send him off into the magical world of dreams.

Full version includes:
~ Complete story with fully interactive vivid illustrations.

~ 8 original songs, plus karaoke.

The songs performed by award-winning American children's singer Susie Tallman and Australian musician Richard Pleasance. 

The story is narrated by professional actors in 17 languages.

Music from the app is also available under "songs", in which you can simply be lulled by the light melodies, or hear words added and sung to you."

### 1/5 — Sad

*2025-04-10*

We have loved this app for so long and now it won’t stop crashing from launch. Such a great app. So unfortunate.

### 1/5 — It was great

*2020-08-11, version 1.6*

I’m had installed this years ago and my son loved it at the time. It is a beautiful story. But we tried to read it again recently and the intro just keeps looping and we can’t even access the story. Please fix it!

### 2/5 — Broken

*2020-07-07, version 1.6*

Keeps repeating the intro when opening the app on iPad 7th gen.

### 3/5 — Не проходит дальше заставки на iOS 13.3

*2020-02-29*

Появилась проблема - на iOS 13.3 игра не проходит дальше заставки. Переустановка игры не помогла. Пожалуйста, исправьте, не расстраивайте детей.

### 1/5 — Не совместимо с iOS 13.3

*2019-12-28*

Пишут приложение совместимо с iOS 7.1 и новее, но это не так. На iPad Pro с iOS 13.3 приложение дальше заставки не загружается. Исправьте загрузку или уберите совместимость с iOS 13.3.

### 4/5 — Really Great - But...

*2019-03-10*

You can only view it in portrait mode on an iPad. There is no landscape mode. Also, this app is different than most. There is an iPhone and iPad version with the same name and picture. I bought the iPhone version by accident. And then I had to buy the iPad version.  It really is pretty nice. Just don’t buy the iPhone version. And maybe the developer will fix the portrait/landscape issue.

### 2/5 — Это не книга

*2018-10-03*

Это не книга,а брошюра - 22 страницы всего! За такую то цену... 
Ее не хватило малышу даже на один вечер! Я возмущен.

### 1/5 — За что?

*2018-09-21*

Уважаемый продавец. Прошу произвести возврат денежных средств т к вы не в явном виде указали, что процесс "чтения/игры займет от силы 10-13 минут. Я извиняюсь, но потратить на приложение более 300 р. и поиметь 10-и минутную "интерактивную" сказку на 10 страничек (хотя я вообще не понимаю где там интерактивность? Просто подергать декорации?) это оо очень много.

### 1/5 — Слишком дорого

*2016-09-20*

Очень жалею что купил эту программу, она того не стоит!

### 2/5 — Примитивщина

*2016-08-01*

За 379 ₽ ожидала бОльшего((( Книжка - ни о чём, сюжет примитивен до слёз. Ну, в игрушки какое-то время поиграем, да. Красная цена - не больше 150 ₽.
