Looking for the Lunar Loon

By J. Carlin Bech

Looking for the Lunar Loon is an exciting voyage of the imagination. In this captivating and entertaining story, J. Carlin Bech tells the tale of a wanderer’s search for the mystical and magical Lunar Loon. On a warm summer evening, a wanderer who never wears shoes, appears in the quiet backyard of Mr. Jimmy Jones. The wanderer is a shy, mysterious fellow—but he has an incredible story that must be told. It turns out the wanderer has traveled far and wide, searching for the Lunar Loon, but it’s not a simple search. There are many secrets and tricks involved in finding the Lunar Loon, but it’s all worth it to the wise wanderer for the Loon is a wondrous creature who loves adventure. The wanderer travels to places like the Seafood Café, Bill and Bob’s garden, and of course, the moon. Filled with kooky characters like Professor Norm and Mr. Dave as well as unexpected encounters with the likes of an old toad named Mr. Ug, a very snobbish wallaroo, and a poorly behaving young space pig.

Looking for the Lunar Loon

When you’ve been sad and feeling down

And gone too long a mile,

If you’ve forgot what sunshine is

And seldom ever smile,

Then stop and bend an ear my way,

And listen for a while.

My name is Mr. Jimmy Jones—

Or so it is, they say.

I have a story I must tell,

So please don’t go away.

I heard it told from someone who

Had come along one day.

He came upon a summer’s night

To tell me of his quest;

He was himself a wanderer

Who asked if he could rest.

He looked to be so tired that

I let him be my guest.

So come and join us here tonight

Upon this eve of June,

And as you hear this story told,

You’ll find out very soon

That you would love to come along

To find the Lunar Loon.

Let’s sit out in the evening with

The end of day in sight.

"My tired little friend,

How nice to have you here.

It’s been a long, hard passing day

That’s drained me much of cheer.

But now, there’s time for twinkling stars

And not a thing to fear.

"I’ve studied all the hedges with

A level eye, you see,

And any evening spent like this

Is very good for me."

My little friend said nothing ’cept

The Wanderer Isn’t that a lovely tree?

Mr. Jimmy Jones Can you recall, I softly spoke,

"Of such another night?

The moon’s so big and full above,

The stars all shining bright.

The sky has such a brilliant
