Luna who dearly loves the moon and always watches it when she goes to sleep at night because it helps her feel safe and comfortable. She begins to wonder where the moon goes during the day and decides to stay up all night to watch the moon and see where it goes. But, when she inevitably slips away to dreamland, her dreams have glimpses of the moon in them but don't really tell her where the moon actually goes!

This is a cute bedtime story; I enjoyed the sweet, quirky illustrations and th...more

'Moon Dreams'. A wonderful illustrated story of where does the moon go when it is daytime. Enjoying a bit of fantasy and a lil talk of where is the moon tonight. Then we went on to explore why we do not see it in the daytime. Of course in the book there is an array of fun ideas. We did not dwell into the real science of it but into the fun imagination of the question. My granddaughter really enjoyed helping think up ideas of where is the moon.

This book is a cute-enough story about a little girl who wonders where the moon disappears to every morning when the sun comes up. She tries as hard as she can to follow it at night, but then winds up falling asleep and dreaming of the moon instead. Decent, but not life-changingly awesome. Best for an early elementary crowd who can sit through the length.

I love this book for its illustrations. Oh my! The simple story is nice, a lullaby of a book. But, the illustrations make me happy, especially the cover. I really love that the entire book was inspired by a single postcard by the illustrator. How awesome is it that he then illustrated the book?

This is a story about the moon and dreams and good to read at bedtime. It's a good conversation starter to talk about the rotation of the Earth and the Moon's orbit around the Earth. The illustrations are colorful and work well with the story.

Where does the moon go during the day? Luna is determined to find out, but she just can't stay awake to watch. This is a beautifully illustrated picture book with soothing text perfect for bedtime, or anytime really.

The illustrations for this story were so great! Very modern-y and design-ery. Loved the deep, bright colors too. The story was adventurous and innocent.

I picked this up because the cover reminded me of the Pixar short from Brave, and it was just about as lovely.
Cassie
A sweet story about a girl who dreams of the moon each night and journeys to discover it's whereabouts in the day.

This was a cute little story and the images really add to the book.
A must for your picture book collection!

The illustrations are pretty damn amazing. If I ever write a children's book I'm hiring Olivier Latyk.
Amanda Carpenter
This story was good and the book had great illustration. We all enjoyed this story. My niece, my dogs, my parents and myself - during family story time.

This is a sweet story about the moon and dreams and a great book to read at bedtime. For older children, it's a good conversation starter to talk about the rotation of the Earth and the Moon's orbit around the Earth. The illustrations are subtly shaded and soothing and complement the story nicely. We enjoyed reading this story together.

In my opinion, a really great picture book has to have great art and a great story. This book had a really nice story, especially for bedtime; but I am not a big fan of digital art, which this book has...hence the three stars =/

Have you ever wondered where the moon goes during the day? Well, Luna does every morning so she is determined to stay up and watch the moon all night. Adorable story with fun illustrations that really make this book.
Molly
I like the wordless spreads, as children can interpret these in their own way...great for narrative skills.
