This story was lovely. The illustrations are older and dated, but it works. This is a bit of a quiet story, all the ways to use a moon or a partial moon that is being given as gifts. The story rhymes well, and the cadence is sometimes not smooth, it’s not sand paper either. This is a lovely story, that I could see having new editions every generation with a new illustrator. ( )

This was my favorite book as a child and wanted to read it almost every night before bed. My mother even sewed me the black and white dress from the candy shop in the book for me to wear on my birthday. It was amazing. ( )
