Night - Star - Moon
A curious little star pays the moon a visit and wants to know all about his names: those
of the different lunar phases and those inspired by poetic imagery. It finds out that the
moon is by far human's favourite celestial body, and that he controls the natural cycle
and even time. Soft watercolours with quotes from the text add a lovely touch to this
bedtime-story. (3+)
