Book Review - Mommy, What is the Moon?

* * * * *  I give Mommy, What is the Moon? by Crystal M.M. Burton (illustrated by Michael Finch) 5 stars.

I received this ebook free in exchange for my honest review, but I must now purchase the paperback for our shelves because it is a new favorite in this household!

My kids adored this book! I thought it was great when I read through it quickly alone and I loved the illustrations but my kids laughed and laughed when I read it aloud to them taking it to the next level. They have also asked for it every night since and we have talked about the moon half a dozen times!

What I Liked:

• I love that we get to see the boy’s reasoning. You can see how he looks at the problem with logic (even if it is funny logic) and I think that teaches readers about problem solving.
• My kids loved the boy’s silly ideas of what the moon might be made of and I can see them questioning things I take for granted. I love anything that makes them think critically about their world. It’s a big bonus if they have fun doing so!
• The illustration of “Mommy” hugging her child in front of the moon was touching and her comparison to her love for him almost made me cry!
• A wonderful bonus comes along with purchasing this book. 10% of the profits are donated to JDRF and fund  research toward a cure for Type 1 diabetes. 

 
Would I Recommend and to Whom:
I would recommend this to any parent of young children. My kids are 3 and 5 and it was perfect for them.
