Thank you so much to Familius and Netgalley for the ebook to read and review.

Review: This is such a beautiful rhyming book for bed, the words are really soothing and you can visualise the moon in all its forms as the child in the story gets ready for bed. This would be wonderful to read as you are tucking your little one to bed, they’ll be thinking of the wonderful moon and all that it’s doing.

I really enjoyed the rhyming of this book, it was different but it worked and it took you through a child’s imagination as they played, as they got ready for bed and as they started to drift off to sleep.

We also got illustrations that shared the story alongside it, seeing the pirate moon, the teddy moon etc, it was really cute looking at the child’s imagination coming to life, and a child being read this would love to look at them, it’s a very creative lovely book.
