Moongame is a story about Little Bird who teaches Bear how to play hide and seek. Bear, thinking the moon is alive, took what he learned from Little Bird and played hide and seek with the moon. It just so happens that when it is the moon’s turn to hide, a cloud hides the moon. Then, when Bear can’t find the moon he asks his animal friends to help him. Bear finally gives up and says, “You win!” Soon after, the big cloud slowly moves, uncovering the moon.
I adore this book. It gets your imagination going when they involve the moon in the games as if it were a real live thing. The warm colors against the moon really make the moon stand out. Also, the simple, fluffy drawings make the story look like a cartoon. I like the clarity in the illustrations because it is attractive for young readers.
It is also an easy-going, slow moving, yet, exciting adventure. I’m glad the story showed Bear asking for help after he was worried his friend, Moon, was lost. The fact that he wasn’t afraid to ask for help when he needed it most tells me a lot about his character. He is a caring and kind bear. Moreover, he had good friends as well because they were there for Bear when he needed them. I always like the books when animals can talk because I think it gets kids’ creative minds spinning and puts no limits on their imagination.
