I See the Moon by Jacqueline Mitton
Nine brief, friendly stories tell how different animals forage, hunt and carry on their lives by the light of the Moon in its many different phases.
'I See the Moon' should be noted for its evocative illustrations, and the text deserves to be regarded as a well respected learning tool for younger readersArmadillo Magazine 5 Stars: Quite simply this is a marvellous first introduction to the Moon and the night sky. Highly recommended. Books for Keeps A book about observation, and children will enjoy comparing the vivid descriptions and images of the moon to what they have seen in the sky at night. Ibby Link Not only is it a magical book to have in the classroom to stimulate imagination, but a great book to read to youngsters at home as a gentle parallel for when they go to bed at night. It can also be used as a basis for several lessons. School Librarian
