Description

Product Description

Monica wants the moon to play with, so her Papa sets out to get it. It isn't easy to climb to the moon, but he finally succeeds -- only to find the moon is too big to carry home. Children will love the joyful way in which this problem is solved.

Now available as a Classic Board Book edition, this delightful story literally unfolds as pages open dramatically, extending both outward and upward.

We like looking at the moon and this book helps to open conversation with my child about the moon. The story was neat in the sense that the father really is adventurous in retrieving the moon.

Only thing the wasn't so great about the book is the large flaps that are a little confusing as to which direction in which they should be opened. My son almost ripped one of the pages trying to figure it out.

I am a speech pathologist who reads this to children from ages three to eight. The children are soooo impressed with the foldouts and my favorite spot of my day is watching a first time "reader" of the book as the foldouts spread out. The pages with the longest ladder anyone has ever seen knock the kids between the eyes! You HAVE to see their faces!!

The spread of the full moon always evokes a reverent "WOW!" from any age child. Their expressions are priceless.

This book is a very good book for teaching so many concepts: sizes (as the moon gets bigger and then smaller), long, high.

While many of the concepts are abstract for language disabled three year olds, it is an impressive book which will teach other concepts and vocabulary.

I agree with another reviewer: this book should be wider known. I had no idea it was such a lovely book until I saw it on display in the teacher's lounge. The display copy was a small board book. Once I saw the potential of this book, I ordered it in the larger, hard cover version. It has been a worthwhile investment.

I bought this on a whim because my daughter likes saying good night to the moon. It was one of five books I purchased in one order, and the rest remain unread because my two-year old daughter immediately picked this one as the one she wanted read - over and over and over again. She can recite practically the whole thing and so strongly identifies with the little girl in the story she likes to pretend to be Monica (or she gets confused and thinks she IS Monica). It's a cute story and the fold-outs are unusual and compelling, but it's one of those rare books that has struck a deep chord with her - and that I can tolerate reading over and over and over again.

It's poetic and the illustrations are superb. Your child will love it, as will you!

I have 20-month old twins who absolutely adore this book. We got it out from the library and they've wanted me to read it to them every day...many times a day. They love the pictures and how the pages flip up or down. They are facinated with the moon and the stars. They may not exactly understand yet what this book is about, however, it gets them interested in reading. We own many of Eric Carle books and this is one of my (and their)personal favorites. It really is timeless. A great story!

I would be careful letting your really young children play with this one alone since the pages are thin and easily ripped. It is one to read to them and put away after you're done.
