The Moon Came Too

When a little girl learns that she is going on a trip to visit her Grandmother, she gathers everything that she loves and packs the car full. Some of her prized possessions consist of a a tattered ragdoll, a fishing rod, a ball and bat, and "hats! hats! I'll need two or three!". When she arrives at her Grandmothers, she remarks "Grandma,look up! The moon came too!" This little girl will appeal to many young readers and listeners because of her many interests. She is a high-energy individual, yet quietly reads her favorite books with a flashlight in the car. She is a little tom-boy who fishes and gets muddy, yet likes to dress up in a girly bonnet. Some of her companions are her pet cat and her stuffed bunny doll - and of course, she adores her Grandma! The "Moon Came Too" is a cleverly written story and has an enjoyable rhyme and rhythm!

A little girl takes almost everything she owns with her to Grandma's house. "An owl that hoots and a horn that toots, maybe one puzzle will do." She brings almost everything imaginable. At the end, she realizes that even the moon came with her to Grandma's house.The story lets kids know how fun it can be to go to Grandma's house, and how comforting it is to see the moon, just as she sees it at her own house.The illustrations are fun, showing Mom's car packed with "stuff" that the little girl has to bring to Grandma's.
