A soothing collection of bedtime poems about the moon from the beloved children’s author known as Father Goose

The moon watches over us
Like a Mother of the Night.
She sees through the darkness
With her soft and silvery light.
—excerpt from the “Mother of the Night” bedtime poem

Fourteen imaginative poems provide children with an engaging way to explore the wonders of the moon. With titles including “Magic Moon,” “Ice Cream Moon,” “Fruit of the Moon,” “Artist Moon,” and “Moon Cat,” the poems encourage toddlers and young children to think of the moon in new and creative ways: as an ice cream cone, a lollipop, a piece of fruit, a lost balloon, and more.

Key Features:

• The short, gentle poems are ideal for helping beginning readers develop a love of poetry.

• Each poem is paired with illustrator Jacqueline East’s enchanting artwork, which features an adorable wolf cub who guides readers through the verses.

• The poems present different ways to think about the moon, which—as the most accessible feature in the night sky—is an enduring source of curiosity for children.

 Perfect for bedtime reading, this charming journey of words and pictures will gently guide children toward their own sweet dreams.
