I Took the Moon for a Walk

One of Scholastic Parent and Child's 100 Greatest Books for Kids

I took the Moon for a walk last night.
It followed behind me like a still summer kite,
Though there wasn't a string or a tail in sight,
When I took the Moon for a walk.

Embark on a dreamy, nighttime jaunt with a young boy and the moon in this sweet and calming bedtime story. Together, they wander through tree lined lanes, find friends in the whistling dog choir, and discover the beauty of the outdoors at night.

• The calming refrains makes this the perfect bedtime read
• Includes endnotes about the moon and plants and animals that thrive in the wee hours
