Summary: A Great Birthday Book
Review: "Happy Birthday, Moon"

This book is perhaps the best birthday book I have ever read. "Happy Birhday Moon," is a book written with great intrigue, and included a variety of descriptive dialogue. The book has a character that is a bear. The bear enjoys talking to the moon. The moon seems to repeat whatever the bear says to it. This book is quite entertaining. I couldn't stop turning the pages. It was very interesting! Read it for yourself to discover the ending.

Summary: Happy Birthday, Moon
Review: As a future teacher who will have to face young children who are a lot more advanced (technologically, mentally, emotionally, and in many other respects) than I was this book offers me a feeling of comfort. A feeling that some innocene is still alive. Bears innocence is refreshing as well as delighting, and amusing. As many times as he speaks to the moon he never realizes that the moons voice sounds a lot like his. The voice that he hears, and that speaks to him uses all of the exact words that he uses. However, it never occurs to him that it is his own. His desire to make a new friend and please that friend is all he wants and although he may believe he found such a friend in the moon, he actually found it within himself. I feel that this book shows various qualities such as, forgiveness(when the hats are lost), caring(the giving of the presents), determination(bear traveling some distance until he is finally able to converse with the moon), and many more that I would like to help build in my children.

Summary: This book is filled with laughter and joy.
Review: Bear is happy because the moon told him his birthday is coming up. Bear gets him a gift and they spend a great day together during the moons birthday. I remember my mom reading this book to me when i was a little boy. I would recommend this book to kids who dont have anything thing to do than rathering watching T.V no Just Kidding it dose not matter. Thanks Franf Asch for writting this book.

Summary: Can't get much more inoffensive than this!
Review: Children like stories where characters have mistaken ideas of what the moon is. The Caldecott winning book, "Many Moons" (which I HIGHLY recommend you run out and read immediately if not sooner) supposes that the moon is no larger than a thumbnail and made of pure gold. In this book, "Happy Birthday, Moon", a small cuddly bear supposes that the moon is like any other creature and, if you get close enough, you can have a conversation with it. Through a series of misadventures (echoes, trees, and winds) Bear comes to the conclusion that the moon would like a beautiful hat for its birthday. In the end, he and the moon have (in his mind) grown closer over the course of the story.

And boy oh boy is this picture book simple. No extraneous details or folderols here. The lines are clear cut and smooth. From the perfectly circular and yellow moon in the sky to the deftly lined Bear, not a single line or color is out of place here. For those parents wishing to calm their little ones down with a simply told, simply drawn story, this book is ideal. Concepts are not difficult to grasp and words never get any more difficult than "birthday" or "beautiful". It is a nice little book.

Summary: A Charming Book
Review: Happy Birthay, Moon is a great book. I loved the illustrations and the way the author descibes his character.
The main character, the bear, is a great and cute little guy. He has this thing about talking to the moon. Unfortunately the moon doesn't answer him, so he tries harder for the moon to hear him. When he was in the mountains the bear's voice echoed back to him, and he thought the moon was the one talking to him.
This book is wonderful in its descriptions. You will have to read it for youself to find out why they call it "Happy Birthday, Moon."

Summary: Definitely must add to our personal library!
Review: I found this book by accident at the library while my 5 yr old daughter and I were looking for specific stories she had to read for school. I put it in the pile to be checked out and surprised her with it when we got home. She has had a stuffed crescent moon since she was a year old and has always had a fondness for the moon. She absolutely loved this story. We read it over and over. She told the story to her grandmom, her aunt, her cousins. Unfortunately the library book was due back. This will be a special gift for her upcoming birthday. I'm also considering Mooncake to go with it. There's nothing quite like having your little girl read stories to you especially a story that makes her smile long after the she's reached the end of the book.
