Happy Birthday Moon

Happy Birthday Moon

 Frank Asch / K-1 / Science /

 

 

Bear loves the moon so much that he wants to give him a birthday present.
But how can he find out when the moon's birthday is, let alone decide what
to get him? Resourceful Bear knows what to do: he goes off to have a little
chat with the moon. What a wonderful surprise to find out that he and the
moon share the same birthday!

Gently told with warm words and the simple, charming illustrations for which
Frank Asch is famous, Happy Birthday, Moon is a poetic fantasy and a reassuring
celebration of love and friendship.
