Obviously the author has talent, but she's more of a poet than a storyteller. Perhaps she should be targeting an older crowd. This book has elements suited for toddlers (big pictures, only one sentence per page) but the writing is too sophisiticated and abstract for them, and the story too disjointed. I guess it would be good for a one-year-old or younger who just enjoys hearing a parent read a peaceful book (e.g., "Eyes close. There is a drowsy hush. Darkness swells into a colorful dream. And if the moon could talk..."). But my kids prefer books with stories they can understand, and even repeat. This ain't that.

And if the Moon Could Talk is one that we can both recommend without question to anyone.My little girl just loves it. It is one of a very few books that she picks up again and again. The story is perfect for that "just before bed book." Buy it, you won't be sorry.

To me, it is so beautiful that it actually makes me a little weepy. Best of all, my 19-month old son brings it to us again and again (saying "moon, moon"). It's one of the few "bigger-kid" books he will actually sit through! To me, it is nothing like Goodnight Moon (which we also love)--it is a whole different category!

This is certainly the nicest book I ever read to my children, and we have so many books at home. They are so fascinated with the poetic text and the beautiful indoor and outdoor artwork. This book is clever, delicate, profound, moving. It makes children dream and learn. I am sure it will be around for as long as Goodnight Moon has been with us. This is a unique masterpiece and people here in France have understood that : the book is sold out.

Why bother with this cheap imitation when one can still buy the Brown/Hurd classic still going after fifty years!

Her father reads to her, her mother tucks her in. She sees and hears all the familiar, comforting house sights and sounds, closes her eyes and begins to dream. Outside, the moon is watching over the world. And if the moon could talk, it would tell of woodland creatures hurrying home for supper and sand blowing in the desert, waves crashing on the shore, birds safe in their nests and lion cubs safe with their mother. It would talk of stars coming out to shine on the world and a little girl curled up with her stuffed rabbit, fast asleep. And if the moon could talk, it would whisper, Good Night..... Kate Banks has written a lovely, simple bedtime story full of imagery and magic, pre-schoolers will want to hear again and again, night after night. Her soothing, understated text is beautifully complimented by Georg Hallensleben's lush and expressive artwork and together they've authored a story that will capture your youngster's imagination as he/she are lulled gently to sleep. And If the Moon Could Talk is a must for all home libraries and is sure to become a classic in the years ahead.

The artwork is brillant, a mass of colors and impressions. The text is fun to read, though there's so much in the artwork that it's easy to ad-lib.
