From School Library Journal
Gr 3-5-Filled with poems and myths about the moon, this collection is a mix of engaging imagery, interesting tidbits, and origin stories, sure to entice many readers. The entries range from the whimsical-how long it would take to drive to the moon?-to haiku about the sounds heard at bedtime. The second half of the book features various myths about the moon from "The Man in the Moon, a German Tale," to "Why There Are Fireflies, a Japanese Myth." The illustrations use an array of purples and blues, highlighting a cool nighttime feeling. Most of the lines follow an ABAB format, but all have a delightful rhythm to them. This is a short, eclectic mix of inspirational tales and poems that could offer many curriculum connections among mythology, poetry, and creative writing. VERDICT A solid purchase for elementary poetry collections.-Molly Dettmann, Norman North High School, OKα(c) Copyright 2011. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
