Publisher's summary
Smon Smon takes us on a journey into a beautiful, mysterious world where cooperation and generosity save the day and friendships make it wonderful.

The Smon Smon hangs its last ron ron next to its won won on a lon lon and floats away in a ton ton. But when the Smon Smon falls into a zon zon . . . what happens next is what makes any world worth being in.

A finely woven story.
