Never Kick a Slipper at the Moon

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Rosanne Litzinger. Originally published as part of his Rootabaga Stories collection, Sandburg's text is a quirky, rhythmic recounting by a father to his daughter about the Dancing Slipper Moon. Litzinger's contribution of rounded country-dwelling characters and swirling nightscapes in watercolor, colored pencil, ink, and gouache makes the deliciously meandering story easier to follow (though some of the nonsense phrasing may still confuse readers).
Reviewer: Hannah Rodgers Barnaby
