Despite such distractions as going to the bathroom, looking at his book, and playing with his building blocks, young Toby eventually gets his oft-repeated wish to see the moon

About this title

From School Library Journal:

Pink-cheeked Toby wakes in the night, calls his father, and tells him he wants to see the moon. After taking Toby to the bathroom, the father offers other distractions--a drink of water, a book, and blocks. Toby persists, each time responding, "I want to see the moon." The father finally acquiesces, and Toby predictably falls asleep on his way back to bed. Young listeners will understand Toby's frustration as his father postpones taking him outside. Soft, misty watercolors reinforce the loving, gentle mood of this story. While some may question the necessity of showing an anatomically correct Toby waiting for his diaper change, the scene fits in naturally with the text. A pleasant lap book for cozy moments together. --Jane Dyer Cook, Stockton-San Joaquin County Public Library, CA
