A poetic, dreamy delight, this early childhood poetry book centered around the moon is magical and flowing. Perfect for toddlers and even preschoolers, this book carries us through where we can find the June moon. The June moon rises, is seen on the beach as the protagonist, a preschooler himself enjoys pretending to set sail on a pirate ship, then enjoys bath time, brushing his teeth, climbing into bed, snuggling with the moon and then watching it set as he gets ready to fall asleep. A wonderful introduction to adjectives and vibrant verbs as well as rhythm, the imagery filled language along with the soft pictures creates a joyful reading experience. Students may be motivated to create their own moon poems after listening to this book or perhaps creating poems that are centered around a different topic. The use of repetition brings the rhythmic language to life! This book will be read again and again as there is something new to find each time and on every page. * Children's Lit *
