Don’t you see him?
No, not the moon.
The Man in the Moon.
He wasn’t always a man.
Nor was he always on the moon.
He was once a child.
Like you.
Until a battle,
a shooting star,
and a lost balloon
led him on a quest.
Meet the very first
Guardian of Childhood.
MiM, the Man in the Moon.
I love this one! The illustrations are gorgeous and what a beautiful myth for the background story of the man in the moon. I especially love the idea of the man in the moon being in charge of all of the guardians of childhood. But then, I am a wee bit freaky about the moon!
Opening: Tonight is a full moon folks. You know what they say about full moons? You can see a face on the moon when it's full, the face of the Man in the Moon. But imagine if the moon wasn't always there. What if there were a baby, perfectly innocent, who had never had a nightmare in all his life. In the book Man in the Moon, the wonderful William Joyce is back with a story about how the moon came to be, and how the man in the moon ended up there. Opening Moves: Prompt to anticipate favorite

What a fabulous, beautifully illustrated book that tells a unique story about the man in the moon. This is one of those books that reads like a movie you'd want to take your kids to see. I'm not sure what I was drawn more towards, the absolutely amazing artwork or the fantastic story.Have you ever wondered who or what lived on the moon? William Joyce's debut The Man in The Moon not only introduces to the jolly man who lives there (nope I'm not talking Santa Claus), he'll also tell you how he got
