Catch the Moon with CD (Audio)

Summary: Sister or Best friends spend the night under a smiling moon
Review: Ruby West & Ella Jane are getting ready for bed, maybe their sisters or best friends on a sleep-over and are looking up into the night sky at the stars and the moon. They talk of catching stars by singing and dancing with the moon. Soon the girls fall asleep under the watchful eye of a smiling moon in the starlight!

Each page of the book is rather simple, which is very nice. It allows the girls, moon and stars to be the main focus. The book doesn't say what medium the illustrator used to illustrate the books, but to me it looks like watercolors on a creme paper and ink pens. The night sky has a bluesy, purple and a little yellow in it which is very soft and inviting your listener to sleep. The story was written by Erin Courtney and rolls of my tongue as I read to my daughter.

Also included with this board book is a cd that has 13 songs. The name of the songs are Big Rock Candy Mountain, Little Red Caboose, Oh Suzanna, Catch the Moon, La Manita ( Spanish Traditional, Twinkle Little Star, Stop & Go, New Morning, Oh Groundhog, Butterfly, Donguri / Rolling Acorn ( Japanese Traditional) Free Little Bird & Fais Do ( French Traditional).

In truth, I have not had a chance to listen to the cd, what drew me to this board book was that one of the book's main characters an looks like my daughter & the other girl is blonde reminds us of my sister's daughter. It was an extra bonus to find out the board book also included a CD. I do like Lisa Loeb and we'll be listening to the CD in our car tomorrow!
