Review

Who would think the moon would be scary? Meet Squishy face, a young girl, who one night her mom discovers is afraid of the moon. Just like any mom wanting to makes this better, she decides to tell her a story that piques her interest about the moon. he young reader wil follow her journey as she learns to conquer her fears and gains a new understanding of what the moon does. This was such a wonderful incorporation of an engaging story along with an introduction to the moon cycles and science. The message that gets presented is brought to a level where a child can relate and enjoy. I would not only recommend as a story to be read but also as a teaching tool as well.
