(3) K-3 Spare text describes a family's observance of the Moon Festival. Understated gouache illustrations show the family members laying out a nighttime picnic while the sky, growing slowly darker on each spread, sets the scene for the glowing moon. Information about the celebration--"the thanksgiving holiday for the Chinese and many other Asian peoples"--and its symbols is appended.
