My fellow librarian, Debra, had the kids glue die-cut moons to wooden sticks and then play along taking the moon for a walk, rising higher, tiptoeing through grass, etc. as she read the story. Then she played "Catch the Moon" by Elizabeth Mitchell and Lisa Loeb while she blew bubbles for the kids to catch. Lyrical text, lovely art, fun to play!

"I carried my flashlight just in case
The moon got scared and his its face."


It is rhythmic lines like this that draws the adult into this children's picture book. Beautiful illustrations too. Delightful book to be shared with that young reader in your life.

Thank you Candace for recommending I Took the Moon for a Walk.

Sweet story, cute and imaginative illustrations. Bonus points for the pages at the end covering The Mysterious Moon and The World at Night. It's fantastic how Barefoot Books go the extra mile to foster learning by including interesting information related to the subject presented.

I’m a nanny to a two year old and this is one of his favorite books. And truthfully it’s one of mine too. Every time we read I always make sure this one is in the pile. Between the calming words and the amazing artwork, this book is an absolute must.

I love this book. Not only is it a cute story with a magical poem but it also is a great way to introduce kids to the moon and its phases, as well as nocturnal animals. A good book for pagan parents whose faith includes the moon.

Lovely like a Cocteau Twins record. Also reminds me of Calvino's Cosmicomics.
