About this item

The moon holds fascination for kids of all ages, as it is one of the few celestial objects we can see with the naked eye. Students can easily observe its phases and rotation in order to understand the Earth-Sun-Moon system. In a two-tiered format designed for early learning, Gerald Fierst marries poetic imagery with fascinating expository text to create a compelling introduction to the calendar s full moon names. Leslie Stall Widener s richly detailed ink-and-watercolor illustrations guide the reader through the natural rhythms of the changing seasons as illuminated under the full moon.
