The Moon Shines Down by Margaret Wise Brown


The Moon Shines Down is a poetically and beautifully written children's book. With every turn of the page your children can visit another culture in a far away land from the comfort of their favorite reading spot! The verses written by Margaret Wise Brown have an elegant rhyme to them that makes the story easy to remember. Young children will be "reading" along in no time! Illustrator, Linda Beck, did a brilliant job of making page vibrant and eye catching. Each illustration is so highly detailed that my toddler would look at the book for hours. The illustrations are sure to captivate toddlers and adults alike.


My only criticism would be that words like "brambles" and "English wood" might be a bit difficult to explain to a toddler or a young child.


Overall the book was a fun and enchanting read for both my toddler and I. This "soon to be classic" children's book will be a part of our family library for years to come!
