A nighttime walk beneath the moon

A young boy’s walk with the moon gives this picture book a way to bring nighttime nature into a bedtime story. Their route passes tree-lined lanes and a chorus of dogs, while the accompanying endnotes introduce the moon and plants and animals active after dark. The book pairs an imaginative journey with brief nature-focused information, connecting its nocturnal setting to subjects children can explore beyond the story. Its bilingual editions, available in several languages, extend that combination to more families.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 who enjoy imaginative bedtime stories

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
