Meanwhile the bear is adorable as he is in every other book and I still cannot figure out why the bird has a hat on his head at all but then again those are small details.Īll in all this is a great book to read and one to take the mind off of the worldly just by adding the magic of nature. Just as with the other books in this series the pictures have a slightly darker palette to coordinate with the night but since also the events happen during the day it is also one of the lighter within the series. These are definitely some good concepts to share with children although some of the very youngest may not be able to embrace these ideas with the first or second reading. Most children in elementary school won't need help with pronunciation but it is still a good idea to have someone around to help just in case.Īnd what I most definitely like about this book is that it teaches children that not all desires are meant to be answered right away but can take time and that sometimes you have to be just as creative in your responses to what you are given.

The writing is simple and easy to follow so this is a great book for adults to read to children just before they go to sleep or even for them to read during the day when you want silent time. And although I just came upon the realization that this is book is a part of a series it is more definitely one of those in which you don't have to read it in order that the books are given since there aren't that many relations to each book besides the main character, his friend the bird and the moon. This has been one of those interesting reads from my childhood and while I may not remember exactly as to how the full story goes when coming upon it in a list I am reminded of its relation to my earlier reading years.
