    The Children’s Book Review | December 23, 2019

    If you think a space-themed book starring a spunky cat sounds fun, you’d be right! 

    Danny and the Moon is short, sweet, and perfect for any young reader—in particular, readers who have a strong sense of curiosity and who love to giggle.

    Publisher’s Synopsis: Danny, A very curious cat, wonders what the moon is like. Is it really made of cheese? He is determined to find out. After going to astronaut school, Danny climbs aboard a rocket ship to the moon! He learns the truth about what the moon is made of, collects moon rocks for his family, and then returns home to a cheering crowd. But-is his adventure just a dream?

    A Note From the Author

     

    I am so thrilled to be able to share my story of Danny and his moon adventure! I am a mother of three and a grandmother. After seeing how much my grandchild loved to be read to, I decided to put my idea into writing-and here we are! Danny and the Moon is our favorite bedtime story! ​ Danny and his brothers are truly curious cats! No matter how hard the day might have been, they are always right beside you, letting you know it will be alright. ​ Be on the lookout for more of Danny’s adventures this year!

      Our library just celebrated the 50th anniversary of the moon landing with a summer reading theme of a universe of stories. This would be a great follow-up read!

      My 6 year old daughter loves anything “space” related, so she would really enjoy and appreciate this book. I love that this book is about an orange kitty. It reminds me of the orange kitty that I used to have.
