Illustrated by
Alison Jay.
A child goes for a nighttime ramble with the moon lighting his way and imagines that he is taking it for a walk. Flawless meter and vivid, kid-friendly imagery mark this superb bedtime poem. Jay's signature crackle-painting illustrations present a whimsical moon, with arms and legs (even shoes); the pictures sometimes embellish, sometimes make more concrete, the lyrical poetry.
