Customer Reviews

Beautiful pictures and a great story!

This is a great book - it has the most beautiful pictures and the story is wonderful! My daughter is only 1 year old, but likes the pictures because of their attractive colors... I imagine this will be a favorite for many years!

fabulous book - you'll read it again and again!

our son loves the moon and LOVES this book. the text is beautifully written - captivating for even a 20-month-old - and the illustrations are equally beautiful. great book for a gift or for a treat for yourself (and your child!).

Currently our son's favorite

I bought this because I wanted to try something from Barefoot Books, and I wasn't disappointed. Rhyming books can be tough to read to toddlers, because the flow is lost at a slower pace. We were dubious about this book, but it's our 19 month old's favorite. It's got real animals that we see outside to find (owls, cows, dogs), a playground, and of course, the moon. The good children's books find a way to entertain children and adults (like the nested pictures in Goodnight Moon), and the language, artwork, and paper in this book make it a real treat for all of us.

Gorgeous!

This book is absolutely gorgeous - the melliflous text, the stunning pictures. What a gift Carolyn Curtis and Alison Jay have given us.

A delightful match-up

Parents, longing for a bedtime reading book that is well-written and beautifully illustrated, will find "I Took The Moon for a Walk" a delight. Lyrically written, and with factual information on the moon at the end of the story makes this more than just your ordinary picture book. A great choice for a gift!
