Review
This book is a good read aloud for younger students grades preschool through third. Monkey Moon, Micheal's beloved stuffed animal has disappeared at bedtime. Dad and Micheal go travel back over their day to find him. This book is great for older children learning about figurative language grades four through eighth. Onomatopoeia : "hippity-hop, hippity-hop", "an owl gave a soft hoot, hoot." Simile: "their breath fluttering like moths in the cold air" Alliteration: " silent swings... and sleeping ducks, ...sound of a small animal scurrying away." Illustrations are soft edges water color.
Overall Book Score: good
