The Boy and the Moon

32 pp. | Sleeping Bear | September, 2010 | Trade ISBN 978-1-58536-521-0 $15.95
(4) K-3 On a "dusky dark" night, a boy and his friends, a dog, owl, rabbit, toad, chicken, and flower, dance and howl at the moon and "at life." When the moon gets stuck in an apple tree, the boy climbs up and saves her. Surreal midnight-blue illustrations with pinky-red highlights create the right atmosphere for this abstruse, dreamlike story.
