![]() ![]() This is going to be quite a series, as it tries to widen its net of potential readers (and viewers) with six chapter books and seven picture books. My daughter really wanted to know more about MiM and the balloons he collected from the children from the earth. I especially want to see the return of Nightlight, who was my toddler’s favorite. There were Lunar moths, and the Moon Clipper ship, helpful moon mice, visions of Earth far away. I can’t wait to see the Dreamworks movie Rise of the Guardians in the fall of 2012, which are based on books and artwork of William Joyce. My toddler loved the story of the Nightlight, and my eldest enjoyed hearing a new story about a man in the moon which she never could really say she knew anything about in the first place. See evil darkness, Pitch, on the right? (click to enlarge) As it is, The Man in the Moon is an enchanting story about a little boy in the moon we call MiM, and his gallant friend Nightlight who saves him from the evil darkness. It is not written like a toddler’s picture book, though it would be a very beautiful one if they scaled down the writing. I was so excited to see it in real life because it is truly beautiful! We spent two nights reading it because it is not your average children’s book, and it is 56 pages long. ![]() When I first heard about this book, I was so impressed with the website and its imagery, and I knew I had to have it for my four year old and nine year old. ![]() Get ready for an adventure of epic proportions. ![]()
