Rating: 5 stars
Summary: wonderful for children
Review: A young Tlingit boy goes in search of his friend whom the Angry Moon had kidnapped. He meets friends along the way who help him. It's a Native American "Jack in the Beanstalk" story. The art work is lovely, very worth it if you can find a copy. Great for teaching values about having good manners and finding friends in unlikely places.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Caldecott Honor Book filled with wonder
Review: An amazing picture book by William Sleator (known for HOUSE OF STAIRS and other dark pieces of science fiction) and illustrated by Blair Lent (Caledecott winner for A FUNNY LITTLE WOMAN). It follows a young indian boy through an incredible journey to the moon to rescue his beloved. The artwork is resonant and meaningful and the story compelling. Lots of transformations and magical switcheroos make it satisfying for children of all ages. It is a shame this book is out of print. It needs to be brought back!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of my favorites
Review: I loved this book as a child; what a loss that it's no longer in print. The illustrations transported me to another world where brave children are able to climb into the sky. (In my innocence, I hoped I would one day be able to do the same if only I practiced with my toy bow and arrows.) I remember being especially delighted (even at age five) by the depiction of a friendship between a boy and girl who played together as equals and were both good with their arrows!

Rating: 5 stars

Review: This was one of my favorite books as a child. I wish they would put it back in print in hardcover so I could get copies for my friends' children.
