K-Gr 4–An adorable, funny, educational, and gorgeously illustrated picture book that will have teachers and children over the moon. This clever story posits what would happen if the moon took a vacation to move in next door to the lonely Stella. The two strike up a friendship that often finds them out in the garden, where the Moon loves tending to its plants. However, the Moon’s absence has serious consequences for the natural world, and it’s up to Stella to convince it to return to its rightful place in the sky. In lush, detailed, and whimsical illustrations, the book delivers a strong dose of fun and facts about the importance of the moon to Earth’s tides, plants, and animals.
VERDICT Perfect for a bedtime story or as a companion to a unit on the moon, this book is a must-purchase.
