I See the Moon
Published by Frances Lincoln (Oct 2010)
What is the Moon like tonight? Will it look as round as a shiny balloon, floating way up high? Or will there be a crescent like a silver saucer low down in the sky? Come on – let’s take a peep outside. But let’s be quiet. Others might be looking too.
“Quite simply, this is a marvellous first introduction to the Moon and the night sky. Highly recommended.”
“I See the Moon is based on a brilliant but simple premise: to teach children scientific facts about the moon by using illustrations and stories about various animal characters. Author Jacqueline Mitton holds a doctorate in astrophysics from the University of Cambridge and has had more than 20 books published, so it’s not really a surprise that this is her creation. A twelve double-paged picture book, it is strikingly presented with a beautiful cover illustration by Erika Pal.”
“'I See The Moon' takes children on a fantastic journey across the night sky. Animals from across the globe fill the pages of this delightful picturebook, each observing a different phase of the moon. Astronomer Jacqueline Mitton has written many books to introduce children to astronomy. Her passion for her subject saturates the prose of her latest offering, beautifully complemented by Erica Pal’s luminous illustrations.”
