Illustrated by
Tracey Campbell Pearson.
The full moon in a rich blue sky presides over each scene in this attractive book, as a young boy leaves his bed and takes a motorboat trip across a small cove with his father. Full of engaging, sometimes humorous details, the watercolor and ink illustrations highlight the timelessness of Stevenson's poem, first published in A Child's Garden of Verses.
