Customer Reviews

Beauty and grace combined for a soothing lullabye.

My children gently drifted off to sleep, hearing this story night after night. Conover's comforting and evocative illustrations opened up their imaginations while the words of Mildred Plew Miegs gently wafted over them. The alliteration in this poem is unmatched by current children's literature. This classic story, beautifully illustrated, is simply sublime. A must for any child's library.

The moon captured in poetry

Moon Song has been my favorite childhood book since, oh, I don't know, kindergarten. I was drawn to the beautiful illustrations (my favorite being the zodiac picture that says nothing, but is worth a thousand words). Also the beauty of the writing, and the mysterious line that repeats about every other page: "Only the moon man knows". The book is set in a child's dream. I truly reccomend this book for a young child's bedtime story or for someone seaching for their "inner child". It brings memories of the days when everyday could be spent basking in the moon man's net "fashioned of moonbeams three".
