Today we read, The Moon
The poem and pictures in The Moon are a delightful mix that make an afternoon read aloud cozy (this book can be a bedtime story also). In this book, a father wakes his son for a late night trip out on the water to see the moon. The mother and baby stay at home while father and son make their way to the dock. Along the way, children have a wonderful peek into the habits of nighttime creatures.

The mother and baby stay at home while father and son make their way to the dock. Along the way, children have a wonderful peek into the habits of nighttime creatures. From the first lines: "The moon has a face like the clock in the hall;/She shines on thieves on the garden wall" children will find an easy comfort in this story...waallaahu a'lam. The poem has a cadence that is easy for young children to follow and the meaning is not too complicated (the illustrations are very helpful with this aspect), which allows them to enjoy it. This poem also seems to have an inherent softness to it that children may welcome. This is a book that you may enjoy reading aloud to even the smallest child.
"The moon has a face like the clock in the hall;/She shines on thieves on the garden wall"...
Aren't those enticing first lines?
