A review by sowalsky
Sun, Moon, Star by Kurt Vonnegut

3.0

A pleasant enough detour for Vonnegut, this slight, obscure children's book was never destined to be classic among either children or Vonnegut fans. Challenged to create story to accompany existing drawings by artist Ivan Chermayeff, Vonnegut chose to imagine the first day in the life of Jesus Christ... an unusual choice, to say the least, for an avowed atheist. He does a passable job, and his take on the story is intriguing enough, but it is hard to imagine any child but the most pious being enraptured by this tale. And because it has never (to my knowledge) been re-issued, Vonnegut completists are likely to pay a pretty penny to obtain a used copy. A curio.
