**A little boy and his mother take a nighttime walk to search for the
moon in this Ezra Jack Keats New Writer Honor book. Gentle and keenly
observed, this bedtime story is sure to appeal to fans of Kevin Henkes's
Kitten's First Full Moon and young children who find the moon
fascinating.

Soothing text and hip, colorful collage style illustrations create a
nighttime story that follows a little boy and his Mama as they walk
around their neighborhood looking for the moon. As the elusive moon
plays peek-a-boo behind buildings and clouds, the little boy asks simple
questions about it, and his Mama patiently answers every one. When
finally the moon appears--bright and white and round and glowing--the
mama and her boy stop and wait for it to disappear again. The moonlit
walk continues until the boy yawns and Mama lifts him into her arms and
whispers, it is time for bed.
