1) Hardcover Book Long Night Moon by Simon & Schuster Children´s Publishing. The illustrations alone make this book worth purchasing. While it´s simply enjoyable you can also use this book to talk about so much, the passage of time and passing of the seasons for a start. We also enjoyed looking at the detail and hidden pictures in the illustrations.¤ 2) Hardcover Book Long Night Moon by Simon & Schuster Children´s Publishing. My 3 yo granddaughter loves the moon and loves this book. Although the prose is spare, it captures the essence of each month´s full moon. The illustrations are soft, subtle and like Rylant´s writing, full of wondrous detail.
This is a fabulous pairing of writer and illustrator. They compliment each other perfectly. I enjoy this one as much as my granddaughter.¤ 3) Hardcover Book Long Night Moon by Simon & Schuster Children´s Publishing. Grear book to inspire young writers to take off an re write thie own versions¤ 4) Hardcover Book Long Night Moon by Simon & Schuster Children´s Publishing. i read this book late at night in the winter time during the full moon, and was so taken with the artwork, i stayed awake to reread and reread it. the landscape really caught me, i could feel it and smell it, it felt like i was walking through this panorama. i loved looking at each page to see how it connected to the page before, how the road got closer, then further away as i kept walking. when i read the book to my kindergartners, they were awed and silent. they loved finding some of the hidden art in the drawings, looking for the wolf in the sky was their favorite. this is a magical book, which leaves you feeling hushed, peaceful, happy.¤ 5) Hardcover Book Long Night Moon by Simon & Schuster Children´s Publishing. This book is a remarkable achievement. Rylant´s simple yet moving and profound poems capture the magic and wonder of the night-time, and they have been further brought to life - and to light, amazingly so, in a rich diversity of luminous grays, blues, purples - by the illustrator.
Reading it with my five-year-old niece, who has often been afraid alone at night, was truly delightful: Long Night Moon brings out the richness, softness and intimacy of the nocturnal environment, in a way that a child finds reassuring.
The journey of the seasons is shown in snapshots, panning along a 360° view of the same landscape, bringing us back, at December´s Long Night Moon, to the homey scene of the beginning. It gives a feeling of completeness and harmony, one more of the very successful uses of symbolism and imagery by this author/illustrator pair who were very fortunate to find one another.
I´ve recommended this book to several friends, who told me it also gave them very pleasant reading experiences with the children in their life.¤ 6) Hardcover Book Long Night Moon by Simon & Schuster Children´s Publishing. Text and illustrations depict the varied seasonal full moons that change and assume personalities of their own throughout the year.¤ Page Updated: Robert N.
