# Hello, Moon - Hardcover

by **Julie Downing** (Author)

**This perfect bedtime read-aloud describes that magical time, just as we're drifting off to sleep, when the moon the moon shines brightly and life emerges from the forest.**

_Hello moon,_  
_Goodbye sun._  
_Night is near,_  
_Day is done._

When the sun goes down and most of us are getting ready for bed, the nighttime animals of the forest all wake up to the light of the moon. It calls to the them, from the slyest fox to the tiniest mouse, who feasts on leaves and fruit and scurries beneath the brush.

A gentle rhyming text that will appeal to the youngest child is illustrated with soft and dreamy artwork in this perfect bedtime book in the tradition of _Goodnight Moon_.

**A Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection**
