Customer Reviews

A delightful romp, wonderfully illustrated in full color.

Award-winning children's author Geraldine McCaughrean presents Blue Moon Mountain, a fantastic children's picturebook about a special young girl who discovers the hidden land where mythological creatures dwell. The Wyvern, the Sphinx, the Roc, the Giant from Jack and the Beanstalk, and many more were unfairly depicted as villains in the fairy tales about them; they needed a place to live, and that place was the magical land of Blue Moon Mountain. For only once in years does a white moon path open and show the way to the mysterious land; young Joy, born during a blue moon, has the opportunity to travel there herself and meet the all the fabulous creatures, including the legendary unicorn, who misses his chance to return to Blue Moon Mountain and lives in a stable near Joy while waiting for the next blue moon. A delightful romp, wonderfully illustrated in full color.

Fabulous story

Have you ever wondered where all the 'monsters' from the fairy tales live? This book tells you-on Blue Moon Mountain. As a mother to five young children, this is one of our favorite stories. The scary storybook villians have feelings and hearts, too. They don't want to be hated and feared. They want to be appreciated and cherished, just like the heroes. I strongly recommend adding this book to your child's collection!

Quite possibly the best children's book in the world.

I have owned this book since, it would seem, forever (I'm 14 years old now), and I am still not tired of it. I have slept facing the window and listened for the owl's roar ever since I read it for the first time. The index of mythical creatures in the back got me interested in mythology, which remains a fascination. I highly reccomend it to anyone, especially to oddling quiet children and to people who can read out loud with a wondrous voice.
