Everyone knowns that the Man in the Moon can only be seen in the sky for part of every month. This picture books explains why this is so - how he fell in love and married and how his wife outwitted the Man in the Sun so that she and the Man in the Moon could spend time together on Earth.
This book is an interesting and intriguing fairy tale that many children will love. It is illustrated beautifully...the pictures almost could tell the entire story. This book could also be used to teach what the man-in-the-moon actually is (the rocky surface of the moon), and to teach about the phases of the moon (In the book, he actually "turns the lights off" in the wrong order...a waning moon will have its left side lit, not the right.). I enjoyed reading it as an adult, and I would highly recommend this book for all ages.
AN EXCELLENT STORY FOR ALL AGES FROM CHILDREN TO SENIORS
