I See the Moon

by Jacqueline Mitton, Erika Pal (Illustrator)

What is the Moon like tonight? Will it look as round as a shiny balloon, floating way up high? Or will there be a crescent like a silver saucer low down in the sky? Come on – let’s take a peep outside. But let’s be quiet. Others might be looking too.

Turn the pages to see the Moon's many enchanting phases – from a horned crescent to the plump-faced Man in the Moon, from the icy crystal ring round the Moon to a dark orange eclipse – watched by Owl, Beaver, Koala, Spider Monkey and other creatures around the globe. The final scene has a surprise in store! Brief science notes make this a perfect introduction to the night sky 0for very young readers.

The book includes end notes on What is the Moon?, Phases of the Moon, Moonlight, Eclipses of the Moon, and Exploring the Moon.

Beautiful illustrations, and great for kids to see the different ways that the moon might look in the sky. All the animals are viewing the moon in different phases and times of day and from different parts of the world.
