Review

A cheerful, bright, round faced little boy has some bedtime questions for the moon. Does it bounce on the bed, go to the park, play pretend in many different ways? The moon seems important to the little boy, but, with the exception of donning an eye patch when asked about playing pirates, it never seems to be an integral part of the story. Children will be attracted to the cheerful, colorful drawings and will enjoy studying all of the faces at the windows in the city and details in the other illustrations. Overall, especially with so many wonderful bedtime stories available, this one feels a little flat.

Overall Book Score: good
