Synopsis
What do you do when the moon comes to your window and offers to take you on a night ride? You say yes, of course! And so begins a night of surprising travel, seated on the back of the full moon. The simple, quietly humorous text offers sound advice to any child about to set off on a trip. And the soft pastel drawings add a dreamlike quality to the story of this lucky young boy who is whisked from his bed for a night ride through the city that never sleeps.

From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 1-This bedtime adventure is only partially successful. Soft, endearing ink-and-colored-pencil drawings in the muted shades of nighttime describe a young boy's fantasy journey that begins with the proposition: "If the moon wakes you up in the middle of the night and offers you a ride, say yes." Full-page illustrations and a simple line of text for each page or double-page spread tell the story. Borne aloft by a kindly looking moon, the boy visits the ballpark, a burning building, a bakery, and other places that are full of activity when he is usually asleep. At the end of the journey, he is returned safely to his own bed, to awaken the next morning with memories of "sweet dreams." Sometimes visual clues alert readers to the next destination, but this is not always the case. The pictures best interpret the text in a whimsical encounter with a bridge. At other times the lack of a naturally flowing transition creates a static effect that is somewhat jarring, and that destroys the momentum of the journey. Also, the placement of the opening and ending illustrations is ill-conceived.
