I Took the Moon for a Walk Paperback – Picture Book, August 31, 2012

The book just arrived-- in perfect, new condition. I searched and searched for a board book that would be age appropriate for my toddler. I ordered "The Moon- Earth's Best Friend", but realized after opening it, it is a book my kiddo will have to grow in to. There's not a lot she will comprehend currently. This book is perfect for a toddler. It is a rather long story and my 2yo who is obsessed with moons will likely enjoy listening to this very cute tale of a boy taking the moon for a walk. The last two pages offer supplemental information about the Moon phases and nocturnal creatures.

Pictures and story are delightful!

I have 7 grandchildren all of whom were fascinated with the moon. This was their favorite book when they were teeny tiny and I so enjoyed reading it with them. I especially appreciated the hard board pages. The story was simple but exciting for little ones, taking them on a quick adventure with the moon. One gets "lost" in the amazing artwork- you discover something you missed each time. I HIGHLY recommend this book as one of those that would e passed down from generation to generation.

The illustrations are beautiful. The story is smooth and easy to read. My boys are 5 and 6 and this is their favorite book for two years now. We loved it so much we sent one to my nephew. He loves it too. We all love to read about the moon. They have a light up moon that they turn on after we read the story. They like pointing out all the things in the book that you really have to look for to see like animals and patterns that repeat.

Love the pattern and rhyme of this story. Great for little ones, especially those that love the moon! You know how you always have to read the same book repeatedly to children? Well, this is one of those books that won't get boring right away if you have to read it over and over again. Illustrations are colorful and interesting as well.

Grandaughter is fascinated with finding moons and loves the moon book, which is a favorite at nap time. Art work is great and features many animals that can be added into the story. Story allows for discussions about other things like how the moon can be reflected in water like we are reflected in mirrors, or what dogs might sound like barking at the moon. Great quality construction, this book will be added to my list of things to gift.

Beautiful illustrations. I read it to my grandson before bed. Nice story. Simple

Over the past ten years, I've read almost every night with my son, so we've been through many books, and this is SUCH A FAVORITE that not only do I give it as a gift whenever anyone has a baby, but my son -- now an avid independent reader (who has read all of Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, and Wings of Fire, etc.) -- still keeps it on his bookshelf because of the memories associated with it. Alison Jay books are always so lovely, and both I TOOK THE MOON FOR A WALK and LISTEN, LISTEN encouraged my son as a baby to learn the beauty and cadence of language and to appreciate reading as ritual and as a special bonding time between parent and child.

This book was for my grand child.Very nice book !

One of our favourites!! This book has such a soothing tone and cute illustrations.We've ordered more for our friends.Definitely give this one a go!

Un libro stupendo, molto solido e le immagini sembrano dipinti. Consigliatissimo, non so se piacerà piu' a voi o ai vostri bambini. In entrambi i casi un ottimo acquisto.

tres jolies illustrations qui ont un style assez originals. C'est comme lire de la poesie.I love how the pictures look like cracked paint. the words have a rythimic quality that is very soothing.

I bought this book for my daughter's second birthday and two months on it is now one of her firm favourites. The book is larger than I expected for a board book which was a nice surprise and is good and sturdy so holds up well to the inevitable rough treatment from a two year old. The illustrations are lovely and the more you study each page the more you find to chat about together as you read the book.The story itself is just long enough to hold a little one's attention and the prose has a wonderful lyrical quality which really seems to appeal to a young child. My little girl is busily learning to speak at present and has asked to hear the story so often that she can now sit and recite parts of it herself as she looks at the pictures which gives her a lovely sense of achievement.I can see this book becoming one of those that is kept for years to come to serve as a reminder of these special early years.
