TITLE: I took the Moon for a Walk
AUTHOR AND ILLUSTRATOR: This book was written by Carolyn Curtis and illustrated by Alison Jay
GENRE: Fiction Picture Book
THEME: learning through friendships
AWARDS: n/a
CHARACTERS: Moon, the little boy

PUBLISHING DATE AND COMPANY: Barefoot Books, 2004
SUMMARY: This is a lyrical book that is beautifully written.  The perspective of the story is told from the little boy when he befriends the moon.  They go all over and the moon and they little boy share great facts with one another.  This book is a softer book, so a nap time afterwards is likely a good idea! This would be excellent in a classroom to introduce a unit on space or the moon.
