Where Does the Man In The Moon Go During the Day?
Have you ever wondered where the Man In The Moon goes during the day? From the time Mr. Sun rises in the morning, until he sets in the evening, the Man In The Moon is nowhere to be seen. If we can't see Moon in the sky, does that mean he's no longer there? Is he spending time with his friends, playing sports, doing chores, making music in a band, or maybe traveling the world? Where does the Man In The Moon go all day?

I have always been fascinated by the moon and our solar system - perhaps why this was a wow book in my eyes. While there are so many fun activities to do with students when learning about the moon, an informational text is a great way to introduce the topic as well as to refer to when engaging students in those activities.
Jared Jackson does a great job drawing his readers in with colorful illustrations and easy-to-follow texts. This book would be great for children in grades 3-5 who are learning about the moon, shapes, rhymes, and other parts of the solar system.
There is a place for science books for small children and this one has just enough activity to keep it moving too. It would make a great board book. Appropriate for ages 3 and older.

I thought it was the best book that I have ever read. I think it was nice and kind, beautiful and humorous and I will always think about it that way.
This is a great book for children who are just starting to read on their own or a good book to read to a young group of children. This whole book is full of repetition. These types of juvenile books are great for young children because they are able to easily pick up on the repetitive words and help read along with the story. This is a pretty short story, which is good for new readers because they won’t get bored and will stay invested throughout the whole book.
Additionally, this book is full of great detailed illustrations that draw in the reader and allow them to visualize the story.
Overall, Where Does the Man In The Moon Go During the Day? is an extremely humorous book for children who love books full of creativity and moon! I would recommend this book for children ages three and up since there is nothing inappropriate in this book and the book is extremely easy to read.

This is adorable!
I'm in love with the illustrations as well as the story. This really made me think back about what it was like when you begin to think about where the Moon wanders during the daytime. I clearly remember trying so hard to wrap my mind about the Moon's journey during the day. It seemed so vast, yet as a child, you want to harness it and grasp it, make it tangible so it makes sense. Jared Jackson does a wonderful job of explaining this incredibly difficult idea while making it fun and beautiful along the way.
I giggled over the moon who's riding the wild rodeo...(I think that was my favorite part of Mr. Moon's adventure). When you read this you'll know why. They were so perfectly placed in the story, exactly the way a child's mind would work.
This is definitely the one that I will be reading to my children when it's released, as well as suggesting this book for our school library.

Where Does the Man In The Moon Go During the Day? has a few different traits. First, it is an example of word choice. Because of its rhyming nature, it could be used as a poem to introduce the concept of rhyming words to students. At early levels, a follow-up activity could be to match words that rhyme, and at higher levels, students could write their very own rhyming poem.
Next, this book is an example of the mentor trait idea. The theme in this story is that imagination is an awesome thing, and that imagination can take you anywhere! After reading the story to students, the teacher could have them use their imagination and write about a make-believe fun adventure they wish they could do. They could also draw a picture to help connect their writing to a visual image.
Finally, this book is a great example of sentence fluency. There is a cadence as you read, and the teacher could have students read this book aloud to partners to improve their fluency skills.
Highly recommended.

This book is hypnotic! An interactive book with an N rating. This is a very cheerful, upbeat picture book with good illustrations which I think are the focus of the book. It couples a daily fun activity of the Man in the moon during the daytime. It is very hard not to read this again given the repetitive nature of the activities that accompany the question of where does the moon go during the day. I think this is a great educational tool. The book is filled with colors, shapes, and many activities children could act out if in a read-aloud setting. It will assist in teaching shapes or colors.
This book is recommended for two to eight years old. The book is a great way to introduce the solar system in the classroom. This book would be a great addition to any classroom because of the universal activities in the story, a great way to introduce to the classroom that it is more fun to play outside with friends.

This is a wonderful scientific nonfiction book to read to kindergarten and first graders. This book incorporates fun questions and learning the basics of our solar system in a way for students to remember. I love how the book travels through an adventure with The Man In The Moon; it is simple to read and easy to understand for young readers. This book is engaging and teachers can make it interactive during a read-aloud.
In my future classroom, I would use this book to introduce students to learning about Mr. Moon. It is a great "hook" to a lesson for students to be excited about what they will be learning. I believe it is important to incorporate reading into different subjects in the classroom. Another activity is for students to create a craft showing all the planets in our solar system using the information from the book! Teachers can make this creative and fun by having students use colorful materials!

Marvelous concept, breathtaking illustrations, just right book design, an almost perfect book. I love it even more because I have a 3-year-old son to dote over. The wonderful lessons about outer space are given in an easy, concise, and gentle way. A lovely book to read anytime but especially in science class or during school camping. The illustrations are simply glorious.
A good choice for a storytime that can have all ages. Short and repetitive for the younger ones, and silly for the older. A good ending book since it's short and I had just a couple of minutes left. Jared Jackson's "Where Does the Man In The Moon Go During the Day?" worked wonderfully. Lots of fun. Kept even some kids with the shortest attention spans I've ever encountered entertained until the end.
Definitely recommended!

Where Does the Man In The Moon Go During the Day? is a great book to utilize in Early Childhood Education!
Children in this age group learn to love these kinds of books and in my experience love guessing what sports or activities the man in the moon does. They feel so proud when they know the name of the game or the activities of the entire book! Children also can learn to read along very easily with this book because of the repetition of the words on each page. Even if it is simply memorization at first, children learn through repetition to understand the relationship between the pictures and the words. I also like that this book has some planets featured on its pages that children may not otherwise learn about very frequently. The illustrations are not distracting or too busy either. The simplicity of this book is a great feature. I find this book an appropriate choice for this age!

“Where Does the Man In The Moon Go During the Day?” by Jared Jackson is a fun way to teach children about outer space.
This is a great informational book for children. The colors make it fun to look at and the vocabulary isn't advanced so it is an easy read. The font of the book is also fun and makes the book more entertaining. And at the end, it says "Where does the Man In The Moon really go?" I think this is cool because it makes children think of different answers to where Mr. Moon goes during the daytime.
Overall the book was a very good read, and also very informational. There aren't a lot of literary elements in this book because it is informational. The biggest thing is the pictures. They are colorful and nice to look at so they keep the readers’ attention. So that's why I gave it four stars.

This was a very interesting read for me and I can easily imagine younger students being captivated by the material presented, as well as the thought-provoking questions asked. It had accurate information that was interesting and that provided the reader with a desire to learn more.
I love the mystery element of the book. I would love to ask the children to put their detective hats on and help solve the mystery of where does the Man In The Moon Go During the Day?. This can be linked to drama because this is a simple and clear book, a pair/group of children can get a page of the book and the higher achievers can create their own page in the book to extend their knowledge and creativity and then be able to perform that page to the class simultaneously.
This is a fun and interactive book which would be great to use with Key Stage 1 learners!

My children and grandchildren have all loved Jared Jackson's Where Does the Man In The Moon Go During the Day? and it's a firm favorite on my bookshelf.
I personally had used this book as a stimulus within the EYFS curriculum as it allows children to begin and develop their understanding of propositional language, for example: Is he playing a tricky, but fun-filled board game, or checking his mailbox to see if mail came? Is he rolling around in the crisp leaves of fall, or meeting his friends for a game of football? and so on. Furthermore, many children enjoy this book very much as it is an interactive book allowing children to learn more about outdoor activities.
Additionally, the language is very simple and repetitive which in turn can help develop the language and communication levels for EAL learners.

A delightful picture book for children 3 years and older.
The book features great illustrations that will help in decoding the words along with grabbing the reader's attention.
If I was teaching a lower elementary grade level, I would use this book to help foster the love for reading. The book contains repetitive words and can easily be decoded using pictures. One of the most exciting things for young children is the thought of reading a book. This one can be easily repeated so even if a student is not able to sound out words and "read" they can "read" this book using memory and decoding skills. It is the best way to get children excited about learning. The text, Children's Literature Briefly 7th Edition, states that few adults read and this could be linked to them not reading for pleasure in school. This book is one that can be enjoyed and encourage the reader to pick up more books.

A perfect book for science class.
The humor that Jared Jackson adds to his book about outer space really adds to the engagement factor (for both the reader and listener); the Moon's adventure in this one actually made me laugh out loud while reading, but I also learned some pretty cool facts while reading. I know that this book is going to be in our rotation because my son wants to be an astronaut, and this one was an instant hit! I am so glad that there are amazing space books out there that add something new to the conversation and go about the information in a new and funny way! I really hope that Jared Jackson wrote about Mr. Sun's adventure during nighttime and made this book a series because I’d love to see the fun adventures of all of the other parts of our solar system (and maybe some cool space objects from other systems!).

This would be an excellent book to read during a science lesson to grasp young children's attention and motivate them to be excited to learn about outer space.
This book also has personification and teachers could use it to ask children a variety of open-ended questions where they could use their imaginations.
The book could be used in a variety of ways in a K-3 classroom. If you were to have the students listen to the story with a writer’s ear, you could have them identify the many examples of the author’s use of voice in this mentor text. Students could also examine how the use of dialogue helps to add to the story. If used in the classroom to support reading strategies, I recommend using this text for making connections and visualizing.

This book is fantastic: great rhythms, fun images, and that special something that makes my son want to read it multiple times a day from anyone he can reach (whether he knows them or not).
I think this book is really good to read to children to get them to think outside the box. There are tons of open-ended questions in this book that could be used for great conversation starters or writing material. The illustrations in this story are also very cute.
In Sum, my son is absolutely obsessed with all things about outer space and we both really enjoyed this picture book. I appreciated the variety of sports featured in the book and the subdued coloring that is the perfect choice for a science class. This will be a real winner for all the moon-lover youngsters out there.

This is a fun, creative book that provides the reader the ability and opportunity to imagine what will be the answer at the end of the story. The book is constantly asking the question in relation to where does the man in the moon go during the day, and within the book, the man in the moon does different things indoors and playing different games outside with his space buddies.
Therefore, it can be used in a lesson with a focus on the moon and other planets but can also be included in a lesson that addresses friendship (in a milder tone). As you read this to a child you can tie in the importance of answering questions when somebody asks you something. This book would be a great book to have in the classroom library because of the bright illustrations and fun characters.

This book is all about the missing Mr. Moon during the daytime, as you can probably infer from the title. The eye-catching cover with colored fonts is what makes this book one that stands out. The book is clear and concise, colorful, and grabs the attention of kids. The illustrations are well done and the fact that the colors are so vivid is what keeps the child interested in the informational aspect of the book.
Overall, this book was very useful and educational. I think it is good that it did not have a massive amount of information and detail because that could very easily confuse kids. The illustrations were very appealing and relevant to the information presented. This book serves as a good start to learning about space.

I think this is a great book for younger ones to see. It is a fun picture book filled with rhymes for kids to join along reading to catch their attention.
Its use of repetition will have kids reading along and acting out the animals from the pages. The illustrations are quite beautiful and done in a style that children will find appealing.
In the classroom, this would be great for early learners. I'd use this in a read-aloud for kindergarteners or first graders. The use of Mr. Moon will engage the students and could be a perfect opportunity to have students get up and act out the moon. I would personally use it for transitions from one activity to another to get the students focused and ready for the next activity.

Where Does the Man In The Moon Go During the Day? combines beautiful illustrations with a fun, informative text.
The information is blended beautifully with the story leaving the reader almost unaware he/she has learned anything. This book would work well both at home and in a classroom. This book would make a fun introduction to a unit on the solar system and the Moon's importance in it. The illustrations are large and attractive and cleverly done. This book is both amusing and educational.
Additionally, this would be a great option for the read-aloud, guided part of my comprehension lesson I will be teaching. I like his book because it is informational and fun but would also engage my students because it is different than what we normally do in science.

I think that this book is a paragon of intellectual excellence. It has a deep and developed plot that keeps the reader enraptured throughout the whole story.
The gorgeous illustrations fit into the structure of the pages very well. It makes it seem like they were completed together. I would like to have this book in my future classroom, it would be a good story to read as a group and I would be able to interact with my students as well.
Plus, there is good vocabulary in this book, it also repeats some words several times, so that children who read the story will get a good grip of the words. I would recommend this book to everyone!

This is a book that you can skim the words and devour the drawings.
This book also has some really fantastic vocabulary and sentences that I would pick out as a teacher and work on them with my class. They could create their own pictures, inspired by the beautiful illustrations in this book. This book could also be used as a starting point to get the children to write their own descriptive poems about the moon using some of the words from the book.
It’s beautifully written with wonderful verbs and adjectives. A really good book to use to get children familiar with different word options and how to use them effectively!

When I read this book I cannot help but to think about the kids in my science class once asked me where does the moon go during the day. This is a great book to use to beginner readers within a classroom or at home because it gives them exposure to the outer space and common activities that will be encountered in daily life routines. The book uses the tone of rhythm to keep the reader at a specific pace which I think might help young readers learn how to be more fluent while reading. It is hard for me to not make a little song out of these books because they flow so well. I would want to ask the author some questions on how he was inspired to create this and why he chose the activities that Mr. Moon did. It probably just had to do with what rhymed, but it would be cool to verify.

Homeschooling can be a challenge when the children are all different ages and learning the same thing. I'm buying a birthday package of a telescope and space books for my sister who is homeschooling ages 4 to 13. While the Space Atlas is perfect for the oldest, what can I get for the youngest so they aren't feeling left out?
Enter Jared Jackson's Where Does the Man In The Moon Go During the Day? It has some simple rhymes and language starts the building blocks for the youngest to feel like they are involved in the conversations the older kids are having. The illustrations are fun and each of the major planets gets one factoid shared. A great beginning space book.

Beautiful, colorful, detailed illustrations. An adorable main character, plus you learn a little about science. The illustrations in this book are so incredible that even if the story doesn't make him or her feel better, the pictures surely will!
My son was reciting something from this book at dinner tonight as a joke, so we remembered to add it to our bookshelves; it's been three months since we read it over, and over, and over. I remember unstoppable laughing fits with my 1st grader. He had just recently made a funny to-do list that I'm now realizing was inspired by this book, too! A MUST-READ, especially for hippy kids.

I thought the book was a very entertaining book to read. The premise of the book was trying to find an understanding of where the moon goes all day. As the reader, you do not get to see whose perspective you are reading but I think that is the format of most children's books, the reason for that is most likely because these are stories for kids who really can't focus on character development and only on what the book is trying to illustrate.
Overall I thought the book was very playful with the words used and it had similar rhyme schemes comparable to some of Dr. Seuss’s work. I really did enjoy the illustrations done by the author himself, his illustration made the book more wholesome and I find that to have more of an impact in a book that is meant to be an "easy read." I think this book will be very popular with boys ranging from 3-6 due to the addition of sports like football but it also brings a gentle side of something that isn't seen as very gentle.

Where Does the Man In The Moon Go During the Day? opened my eyes to so many things, such as taking some time to smell the roses along the way, and I appreciate the author's ingenuity in imparting values throughout the pages, such as making new friends, doing house chores, cooking, traveling, trying new things, and more. It's great when reading these kinds of things. It brings motivation to kids as they grow one day at a time, showing them opportunities to do the things they love to do; most importantly, this book gives a profound lesson about the value of happiness. Perhaps, the Man in the Moon teaches us a lesson that life is a circle. Although it rotates on the same axis and goes in the same direction every time, every moment is not the same. Today we play basketball, tomorrow we go horseback riding, or perhaps fishing, and the day after that we go on a carnival ride of our lives.
I could tell that this book was going to be a blast, it totally deserves an award, and I highly recommend it.

A successful picture book requires a well-developed plot and characters who appear to seamlessly blend into each other and provide life-changing lessons. This picture book had a wide range of life lessons matched with beautiful illustrations and a wonderful plot.
The fun activities introduced by the author were so much fun to read, and my kids love every single one of them. It introduces new things to the kids for sure, instead of watching TV and videos on YouTube. This book actually brings insights that there's so much more in the world that kids and even adults need to see and do. With our new age of technology, kids' attention is diverted into technology which totally could harm their personal growth if left unfettered in their lives. Thanks to this book that totally encourages every youngster to get out into the world and enjoy life. I am glad to give this book a five out of five stars rating.

This book actually brings insights that there's so much more in the world that kids and even adults need to see and do. With our new age of technology, kids' attention is diverted into technology which totally could harm their personal growth if left unfettered in their lives. Thanks to this book that totally encourages every youngster to get out into the world and enjoy life. I am glad to give this book a five out of five stars rating.

I admit, my review is heavily subjective. I'm a huge picture book fan, especially if it involves science, and I love Jared Jackson as a storyteller and an illustrator. As I read this book for the first time, I couldn't help but think of this book as a classic nighttime book for children. The story is gentle, easy to follow, and engaging.
Jackson's illustrations are clean, uncomplicated, and charismatic. Mr. Moon in the story is beautiful, and I can easily see children wanting to revisit the book for both the illustrations and for a gentle story to make bedtime a little bit easier!
Where Does the Man in the Moon Go During the Day? is charmingly and uniquely illustrated, and such a sweet and entertaining story that it is perfect for both read-aloud storytimes as well as peaceful bedtime reading.

Our summer school theme is NASA and space this year. So, I am teaching fiction and non-fiction about the moon, stars, and aliens. We have lots and lots of plans. For example, we are designing life-sized aliens, having spaceship races, writing poems about what the moon is made of: green cheese, milk, white chocolate, a pearl, and writing a story on where the moon hides during the daytime. Their ideas are vast and fun. As a part of summer school, we are reading tons of moon, stars, and alien-related books.
This book was the centerpiece of our moon unit. We read this three days in a row with different reading mini-lessons. Every time the kids cheered, and they were bummed on the fourth day when we didn't read it. Now that's a book! I am going to feature the art project on my blog in the next few days. I hope you'll check it out.
The class did a MARVELOUS job!

I adore this book.
Children will enjoy this fun picture book that celebrates outdoor activities from flying a kite to riding a horse. Hopefully, kids will relate to these games, but for those who do not spend enough time outdoors, it might spark a desire to give it a try. Adults will remember playing these games and hopefully will allow their children. There are no electronics or other modern forms of entertainment, and the kids are having fun! The rhymes are catchy, and students will have fun repeating, "Does he and Is he".
If children haven't had the chance, reading this picture book might inspire them to try Hula-Hoop or carnival rides. Classes could try some of the activities at recess. Students could use this book as story starters or could try writing their own story on outdoor or indoor themes. Best for K-3rd.
