Cosmo's Moon

by Devin Scillian, Mark Braught (Illustrator)

Cosmo loves the moon, and the moon loves Cosmo. They both come to realize though that lots of things depend on the moon - the ocean tides, morning glories, and the dogs, who can't stop howling. A magical book about the power of friendship and the nature of responsibility, Cosmo's moon will charm everyone who's ever been bewitched by the beauty of the moon.

"Cosmo loved the moon. He had moon pajamas and a moon nightlight and stars and moons all over his bedroom. Every night, Cosmo's mother and father gave him a hug and a kiss and tucked him into his bed. But just as soon as they closed his bedroom door, he threw aside the covers, ran to the open window, and watched as the golden moon came into the night sky just above the sycamore tree. And as a gentle night breeze blew across the curtains, Cosmo would talk and the moon would listen."

I always enjoy moon stories. In this one, Cosmo loves the moon and talks to the moon every night. After awhile, the moon starts to follow him everywhere, all the time. There were some unexpected twists in this story.

I read this book to my 1 year old son via the Skybrary app at bedtime. He LOVED it.

I enjoyed this book and think it could be a good read aloud for younger elementary students. However, there was not much plot development. Although, I think it could go along well with a science unit because it talks a little bit about how the moon affects the tides.

Sweet story about a little boy who befriends the moon. Illustrations are nice and story is good.

Such a sweet story. My soon to be five year old daughter is fascinated with space, and she just adored this book.
