Mr. Moon

"A lighthearted, lesson-oriented picture book about an impulsive young bat. Bill the Bat and his friends, Cal the Cat and Mike the Mouse, are enjoying a peaceful evening when a glowing full moon sparks an exciting, out-of-this-world idea: What if Bill could be the first bat to land on it? Encouraged by his friends Bill launches into the sky without a plan-only to come tumbling down. What follows is a gentle, reassuring conversation about ambition, caution, and the importance of thinking things through. It's delivered with tenderness and humor. Potapenko's illustrations are cozy, cartoonish, and full of character. The softly textured nighttime palette adds to the story's warmth and wonder. Dialogue flows naturally, and delivers its message with tender reassurance. --Kirkus Reviews
