Sweet book

This book was a gift from a friend in Australia and has been a favorite ever since my daughter turned 1 (she's now 3.) The Aussie animals are interesting, and its a good way to help young children learn about the phases of the moon. The illustrations are great, too.

Lovely

A charming book which my 3 year-old daughter greatly enjoys. We talk about why there are phases of the moon and the life of nocturnal animals. And it's fun. [Note: I'm not related to the main character.]

Learn australian critters and a bit of astronomy

I picked up this book on a recent trip to Australia to read to my 2.5 year old. He LOVES it. He gets to learn a bit about Australian fauna and flora and gets to learn about the moon waxing and waning. He now TELLS me the story instead of letting me read it. I also picked him up a stuffed bilby which he loves to snuggle while we go over the story. It is simple yet engaging and has beautiful drawings. Now when we look at the moon in the sky my son tells me whether it is smiling or whether it is getting smaller or bigger or half of it has disappeared.
