Mr. Moon

by Daryl K. Cobb

Kirkus Reviews calls Mr. Moon "[a] pleasing children's narrative with a relevant message. ... Cobb's text ... has a simple charm likely to please young readers [and]... Jaeger's illustrations give the night a soft, beautiful glow, complementing Cobb's text ... . Her personifications of Mr. Moon and Mr. Sun are utterly delightful. Cobb will likely delight and instruct children with this charming tale." --Kirkus Reviews When the moon over stays his welcome he gets a little heat from his friend the sun. We all must learn at some point to appreciate the things that make us individuals and what makes each of our own lives special as Mr. Moon does in this unique and fun story.
