Hello, Moon!: A Seuss Studios Book

by Lala Watkins

Inspired by never-before-seen sketches by Dr. Seuss, Norbit the worm wants to keep playing with his friends even after the sun goes down—part of the Seuss Studios line of Beginner Books.

When the sun sets and the moon shines bright, is it time for bed?
NOT YET! Let's play! Make s'mores! Sing and dance under the stars!

Join Norbit the worm, his friends, and the moon itself as they spend an evening doing everything they can think of, from stargazing and storytelling to camping and counting the stars, until finally it's time for bed! By encouraging imaginative play, Hello, Moon! keeps kids entertained as they learn to read.

Seuss Studios is a new line of Beginner Books with original stories and art from emerging authors and illustrators. Every Seuss Studios story was inspired by never-before-seen sketches from the Dr. Seuss Collection archives, which you can find in the back of each book! Launched by Dr. Seuss in 1957 with the publication of The Cat in the Hat, Beginner Books make learning to read FUN!
