The flaw here is a weak ending children are not exactly left hanging, but neither is there a strong sense of conclusion.
Carle's illustrations are up to his usual excellence, bright and uncluttered, with the benignant moon a dominant feature. Many of the pages fold out to double their size, which will delight young listeners but may be awkward for the storyteller during a group experience. Of course the moon continues to shrink and soon disappears, but a few nights later Monica sees it once again in the sky, where it begins to grow anew. By dint of "a very long ladder" and a mountain, Papa reaches the moon, waits until it becomes smaller, and obligingly retrieves it. Monica asks Papa to bring her the moon, that she might play with it. PreSchool-Grade 1 A simple story, briefly told, which revolves around the waxing and waning of the moon.
