This book sees and family that is split and how a small child is dealing with it. A bit more heavy of a topic but a good one still. I liked that this story showed that "broken families" aren't always bad families, many children now a days can identify with that. Being a more difficult subject matter I would use it for grades 1-3.
Pink-cheeked Toby wakes in the night, calls his father, and tells him he wants to see the moon. After taking Toby to the bathroom, the father offers other distractions--a drink of water, a book, and blocks. Toby persists, each time responding, ``I want to see the moon.'' The father finally acquiesces, and Toby predictably falls asleep on his way back to bed. Young listeners will understand Toby's frustration as his father postpones taking him outside. Soft, misty watercolors reinforce the loving, gentle mood of this story.… (más)
This is a very nice book for children whose parents are divorced. Children will identify with the child who spends a great day with Dad, only to have Dad leave him with Mom. Without the last page, this really could be a book about any weekend spent with any dad. A special book to share with your child
This book is weird. The mouse *seems* to be having perfectly natural nightmares about a cat chasing him, but then the nightmares turn out to be tied to the mouse's irrational fear of the cupboard under the stairs (too much Harry Potter, perhaps?) and a field mouse who's been trying to wake him up every night so they can play monsters. It starts out as an interesting take on nightmares and facing fears but turns into something that doesn't gel. Alas.
