I See the Moon is a nice collection of bedtime rhymes that adults will remember from their own childhood.   Many selections are classics while others are lesser known, all however will charm the preschool age child.  What is so special about this bedtime book is the lovely illustrations that shine much like the light of the moon.   Silver foil has been applied to enhance the natural environment highlighting the flowers, animals, and sky.  For the delight of readers many of the rhymes are presented in two page spreads.

The only drawback is the horrible stitched binding.   Public libraries may not want to add this title to their collection as the wear of many hands is bound to lead to lost pages.  This title is best served as a gift book or family purchase.
