More About This Book

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly - Publisher's Weekly
The hints are abundant, but subtle: moonlight shining through a windowpane, star-speckled wallpaper, a mobile of the solar system. Quick-witted readers will soon catch on to the fact that the ``it'' in this cleverly conceived and executed picture book is the moon. Meanwhile, a pair of children pose questions and answers about the moon, at the same time introducing the concept of opposites. (``Is it hot? No, it's cold.'' ``Is it little? No, it's big.'') Schuett's luminous paintings, rendered in the deep, velvety palette of an evening sky, wittily foreshadow the correct answer--the fullness of the moon is echoed in the roundness of a fried egg, a cake of soap, a balloon. The final page seems somewhat tacked on--multicultural children gaze up at the moon, while various translations (``luna,'' ``mond'') float overhead. Ages 3-7. (Aug.)
School Library Journal
PreS-Gr 2-- A small boy and girl are captivated by an open door, overflowing with radiant light, that seems to beckon to them. As readers join the children in their journey to find the source of their delight, the concept of opposites is cleverly explored. Each page offers a clue, in question-and-answer format, as to what this magical, mystical object could be, such as, ``Is it hot? No, it's cold.'' Beautiful, luminous illustrations, done with bold acrylics, creatively portray the pairs of opposites along with the recurring, dazzling, velvet blue sky and twinkling silver stars, perfectly complementing the simply stated text. An exquisite, two-page spread of children from around the world, their smiling faces bathed in shimmering light, completes the tale, and finally gives the answer to the riddle--the moon--in a variety of languages. Similar to the simplicity and eloquence of Tana Hoban's Exactly the Opposite (Greenwillow, 1990), this title focuses on a single concept for preschoolers and successfully takes it one step further, to a complete and more complex multicultural story. Because of the brief content with its rhythmic pattern and lovely drawings, this would be an enjoyable bedtime read-aloud or a story-hour treasure. --Debra S. Gold, Cuyahoga County Public Library, Cleveland
