Summary: Happy Birthday, Moon Review
Review: If all books could leave you with such a "warm and fuzzy" feeling in your heart! I'd like to comment on "Happy Birthday, Moon" by Frank Asch. A little bear wants to give the moon a birthday present, but before he does, he needs to find out what the moon wants. He then makes the journey across the river, hikes through the woods, and up into the mountains. The little bear feels that the closer he is to the moon, the better the moon can hear him. The little bear begins to talk with the moon by interpreting the moon's response through his own echo. Eventually, he buys the moon a hat, because that's what the little bear said he wanted...(so of course, that's what the moon wanted too!) This adorable children's fantasy is beautifully illustrated using simple illustrations with soft, rounded edges. The illustrations are accurate and correspond nicely with the content of the story. The calm mood of the night time is warmly displayed throughout the story. This book enhances the characterizations and avoids stereotypes of race and sex. I think this book should be read to children of all ages because it's theme is appealing and extremely worthwhile. It shows you about friendship, sharing, caring, forgiveness, and how making an effort to make someone else happy, can make you just as happy! I feel the author's style is very appropriate for children aged from zero to ...well...thirty-two! I'm still a kid a heart and absolutely loved it! I'm also a future teacher and love the content of this heartfelt story. This book fulfills a beautiful harmony of text, illustration, format and typography. I'm sure anyone would truly enjoy this wonderful little book about friendship, selflessness and love.

Summary: The moon and a carmel brown bear share the same birthday!
Review: My daughter has recently discovered the moon and loves to go out at night to say hello and night-night to the moon before bed. When I found this book and read the reviews I thought this would be a terrific bedtime book and one I could easily see her being the little carmel colored bear asking the moon when it's birthday was! When bear calls out to the moon he mistakes the echo of his own voice and questions from the mountains not far from where he was standing. The book has simple illustrations, not lots of colors to take your eyes off the bear and moon. It's so sweet to see the bear going out and finding a birthday present for the moon, and even caring enough to ask! This book came in the mail today, and I can't wait to read it to my daughter! I know she is going to LOVE IT!

Summary: Great book for my child's birthday party
Review: My son just had his fifth birthday party and the theme was PJ Party - a pretend sleepover. I was excited to find this book, which fit into both the birthday theme and the "moon" theme (he had a moon cake with star cookies). The book kept the attention of all the children (including my younger 1 year old). What a great, heart warming story that the adults at the party enjoyed just as much as the chidren!

Summary: A review by Joanna
Review: This has been one of my favorite books since I was very young, and I feel a special bond with it. I used to find it very funny, and I still do, but now that I am older, I realize that the author took what might be a complicated concept for a young child to understand (the bear realizing that the moon's voice was really his own echo) and made it simplistic. I plan to read this book to my children and I hope they will find it as enjoyable as I did!

Summary: Happy Birthday Moon
Review: This is a classic yet simple tale of a sweet little chocolate colored bear who cannot understand that his echo is not really the moon speaking back to him. A cute book I think children aged 5 and under will enjoy for its simplicity and big, boldly colored illustrations.
