A real favourite,
This review is from: When the Moon Smiled (Paperback)
Charming story and with colourful pictures - our toddler loves it, especially the last page where the sky is full of stars! Had to buy a moon and stars blind for his bedroom because he liked the book so much. Great counting practice.

SherriAllen.com reviews...,
By Sherri Allen "Editor, SherriAllen.com" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: When the Moon Smiled: A Bedtime Counting Book (Hardcover)
When the Moon Smiled, written and illustrated by Petr Horacek, tells the story of the moon lighting the stars one by one in the night sky until everything is right with the world. The story is well-written, with a warm, reassuring quality reminiscent of classic folktales.
Die-cut stars appear as they are lit by the moon for all the farm animals that haven't yet settled down for the night. Starting at one and ending with 10, another star is added with every turn of the page, encouraging young readers to count along as they go. The number of animals depicted in each colorful illustration reflects the number of stars presented on the same page, reinforcing the numerical concept. Congratulations to Petr Horacek for this excellent book. Although When the Moon Smiled is subtitled "A Bedtime Counting Book," preschoolers will love reading this book at any time of day. I highly recommend it.

original and lovely,

This review is from: When the Moon Smiled (Paperback)
Uh-oh! It's nighttime on the farm and the animals who are supposed to be awake are asleep, and vice versa! The magical moon in this story lights up one star at a time to help the animals do what they're supposed to. The illustrations, as always with Horacek, are bold, sweet, and bright. This is a great story to read aloud to young children.I like to count the stars as each new one is lit. Sometimes I'll play a note on a xylophone, or let one of the children do it, as I point out each star. There's a magical quality to this gentle, lovely book. I highly recommend it.

Beautiful, inventive book.,
By Sara Munoz - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: When the Moon Smiled: A Bedtime Counting Book (Hardcover)
My daughter recieved this for her second birthday, and loves it. It is beautifully illustrated and the layout is truly imaginative. The words and rhythm lend themself easily to bedtime-friendly reading (that is, getting quieter and slower as you go along). My only issue with this book is from the "bedtime" standpoint. The deep colors, combined with the watercolor style and offbeat typeface, while charming, make it rather hard to read in dim light. And for a book geared toward bedtime, that may be something to take into consideration.
