This book is a very good book for teaching so many concepts: sizes (as the moon gets bigger and then smaller), long, high. While many of the concepts are abstract for language disabled three year olds, it is an impressive book which will teach other concepts and vocabulary.
In this simple story a girl asks her father to please get her that large circular piece of rock in the sky. The father complies, hauling out the longest ladder anyone has ever seen and taking it to the tallest mountain in the world. Initially depressed by the fact that the moon is too large to bring to his daughter, the father is eventually comforted by the moon itself. It tells the kids that if he just waits for it to wax and wane, it'll become a manageable size in no time. This turns out to be the case and the little girl is delighted when the father hands her the sliver that is the moon to play with. The book flap says that by reading this book, children will come to realize that, "even a seemingly unreachable goal can actually be attained".

Eric Carle is known the world over for his beautiful picture books for very young children, with their simple and entertaining yet educationally sound stories and their distinctive collage illustrations. Born in Syracuse, New York, he moved with his parents to Germany, where he studied at the Academy of Applied Arts in Stuttgart. On returning to the United States, he worked for a time as a graphic designer for The New York Times, and then for a large advertising agency. His first children's book, 1, 2, 3 to the Zoo (1968) was an immediate success and his second, The Very Hungry Caterpillar (1969) brought him international acclaim and has established itself as a modern classic. He and his wife now live in northern Massachusetts.

Children will love the joyful way in which this problem is solved. Now available as a Classic Board Book edition, this delightful story literally unfolds as pages open dramatically, extending both outward and upward.

I bought this on a whim because my daughter likes saying good night to the moon. It was one of five books I purchased in one order, and the rest remain unread because my two-year old daughter immediately picked this one as the one she wanted read - over and over and over again. She can recite practically the whole thing and so strongly identifies with the little girl in the story she likes to pretend to be Monica (or she gets confused and thinks she IS Monica). It's a cute story and the fold-outs are unusual and compelling, but it's one of those rare books that have struck a deep chord with her - and that I can tolerate reading over and over and over again. |

I have 20-month old twins who absolutely adore this book. We got it out from the library and they've wanted me to read it to them every day... many times a day. They love the pictures and how the pages flip up or down. They are fascinated with the moon and the stars. They may not exactly understand yet what this book is about; however, it gets them interested in reading. We own many of Eric Carle books and this is one of my (and their) personal favorites. It really is timeless. A great story! I would be careful letting your really young children play with this one alone since the pages are thin and easily ripped. It is one to read to them and put away after you're done. |

This book is the beautiful story of a dad who goes to all lengths for his daughter - he actually gets the moon for her! In typical "Carle fashion" this book expands (as the moon appears to do), the pages ascend ever higher (as the moon ascends in the sky). As with Carle's other stories you don't just hear them and see them - you feel them. I love the motion in this book. The tenderness of the gift from father to daughter and the representation of the child's joy in playing with the moon. This story has a wonderful opening, fantastic struggle and beautiful ending. I especially enjoy how the moon itself is a character in the book. |

I think this is definitely one of my favorite books. I love books myself and I love my son now 18 months to read quality books. Every night since I've read this book to him, he points at the window at night time saying "Ba Ba" that's Chinese for father. It's simply so sweet. I've always loved Eric Carle's books but this one is my favorite. I will be running a playgroup soon and this is definitely my choice of book for father's day. Highly recommended. 5 start plus. |
