MY REVIEW

My kids (2 and 6 years old) and I read this together. I requested this book to read because I am that parent who runs outside when there is a full moon and we sit outside to enjoy the view. I knew they would love this book. We enjoyed the beautiful illustrations and it was written simply enough for my kindergarten son to read himself. I liked how it showed us the “moon” in everyday things, like a button or apple pie. This book is great for toddlers and early readers to encourage them to use their imaginations.

MY REVIEW

This book had me at “flippable book”! I always engage my kids in these book reviews, and my daughter saw the ice cream on the cover and was immediately excited. Now, because I read this book to her on an iPad as an e-book, she lost interest by the time I went to flip the book. But if this was a physical copy, I have a feeling this would be added to our night reading pile because it’s colorful with large pictures, it’s short and it flips. I enjoyed the flipping part to the Fall Days section, because we live in Hawaii, we don’t really experience fall but that doesn’t stop me from showing my kids how autumn is experienced around the world. Overall it’s a great book! I’d buy a physical copy for my child and it would make a great gift for other children as well.
