Moon Stories, written by Deborah Eaton and illustrated by Linda Holt Ayriss, is a fun tale about the moon. The moon is very lonely pinned up in the night sky so he has an idea. He will ask the passing stars to tell him a story. It worked great until the stars had no more stories to tell. Then the moon had an idea to tell the stars stories instead. This also worked great, until he ran out of stories to tell. Disappointed, the moon sat lonely and sad. Then, the Sky Father came to ask the moon what was wrong. He explained his loneliness. The Sky Father did something for the moon so he would never be lonely again.
I love books that talk to the audience and make them feel included in the stories plot. In this book, the narrator is telling a tale to the audience. It is written in a way that makes you feel impound that they are letting you in on a secret. This type of story is great for younger kids because their many questions about life are answered. Why is the moon at my window every night? The answer that this book gives is fun and more exciting than the truth. And isn't that what being a kid is about?
The illustrator is extremely talented with creating faces. The moon character in this story has the most detailed and realistic facial expressions I've ever seen. The laugh lines in his smile and the shadows under his eyes are so life-like that the audience makes an instant connection to his emotional journey. However, this accuracy might be a little intense for the younger audience. Some might see it as frightening or scary because the typical children's book uses more animation aspects than this story. The craft of this illustrator should not go unappreciated, but maybe her work should lean toward an older audience.
