In this unique and delightful picture book, the story
literally unfolds as pages open dramatically, extending both
outward and upward. Monica wants the moon to play with, so
her Papa sets out to get it for her. It isn't easy to climb
all the way up to the moon, but he finally succeeds -- only
to find that the moon is too big to carry home! The way in
which this problem is solved is a joyful
surprise. Here is a multi-faceted story that appeals
to children visually, verbally and emotionally, and which
also contains a first lesson in natural history, depicting
the eternal cycle of the waxing and waning of the moon. The
simple text, just right for reading aloud or for the
beginning reader expresses perfectly the purity of a
father's love for his child. Small readers will empathize
with Monica"s longing for the moon, and will be reassured by
her father's willingness to try to make her wish come true.
And, on a deeper level, they will recognize that Papa is not
merely fulfilling Monica's whim, but is demonstrating to her
that even a seemingly unreachable goal can actually be
attained. Papa, Please Get the Moon for Me is a book
to be re-read many times, and to be treasured for its beauty
and its positive message of love and inspiration.
