About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts asking those big, impossible questions about the natural world or when you want to encourage the kind of creative play that turns a cardboard box into a spaceship. It is a gentle, cozy story for preschoolers and early elementary children who find wonder in the everyday details of the seasons and the sky. In this classic tale, Bear is so curious about what the moon tastes like that he builds a rocket ship to find out. While he never actually leaves his backyard, his imagination (and a well-timed winter nap) convinces him he has touched down on a delicious, snowy moon. It is a beautiful celebration of a child's internal world, where the line between reality and dreams is delightfully thin. Parents will appreciate the slow pace and the way it validates a child's unique way of seeing the world.
