Papa, Please Get the Moon for Me encourages a discussion about reasoning, epistemology, and the conflict of imagination and reality.
Monica peers out her window and is greeted by the moon, which to her seems close by. Hoping to play with the moon, she stretches her arms out, but try as she might she is unable to grab the moon. She asks her father to get the moon for her. He grabs a very long ladder and places it atop a very high mountain and reaches the moon. As the moon gets smaller, Monica is eventually able to play with it, and she is overjoyed.
