Moon Child By Nadia Krilanovich


simple text and beautiful illustrations make this a great bedtime read aloud story! three curious animals discover they are children of the moon! perfect addition to your nighttime reading.

PreS-Gr 1–Various animal babies interact with the full moon in this quiet charmer. Otter playfully "catches" it in order to give the orb a big hug, a raccoon plays with the reflection of its light, and an owl smiles at the stars and pretends she can balance the moon on the tip of her nose. There is very little text–only one sentence per spread–but it works well for this subject matter and mood. Sayles has primarily used dark blue and brown pastels with acrylic ink to set the tone for this peaceful night where all is well. Sweet dreams are sure to follow. Perfect for bedtime or evening storytimes
