Full Moon

by Brian Wilcox, Lawrence David

For my birthday, Grandma sent me a crystal globe of the city where she lives. “If you look carefully, maybe you can see me,” she wrote. Late that night, I woke to find a full moon glowing in a starry sky. “To Grandma’s,” I shouted.

So begins a boy’s search for his grandmother as he is transported on a magical journey through nighttime New York City. The globe/moon pulls him along to sweeping vistas. From the spiraling towers of Saint Patrick’s Cathedral, to the grand lions on the steps of the public library, to the heights of the Chrysler Building and other wondrous sights, our hero encounters the city’s jeweled architecture and many delightful denizens–arriving just in time for a huge celebration atop a famous green lady.

A journey which goes past the Chrysler Building

A little strange and unsettling for me. A boy is dreaming he's going to find his Grandmother and he keeps finding strange scenarios that do not include his Grandmother. It was frustrating for me to read. Do kids like books like this?

The book begins with a little boy sitting in his bed with a snow globe. When the little boy falls asleep and begins to wonder the New Your City trying to go to his brand mothers house. I really enjoyed reading this book. The illustrations in the book is amazing.
