Moonlight audiobook

A cute children's book about a black cat named Moonlight who loves Halloween.

The story of an outdoor cat that particularly enjoys Halloween. Honestly, this is the kind of book that lends well to talking Halloween traditions, but I see it as an opportunity to discuss the importance of being a keen observer. That's what the cat, Moonlight, does all night, and it's really the meat of the story. As always with Cynthia Rylant, the language is a treat, but with this particular book, you get the added treat of Melissa Sweet illustrations. This seems to be from the phase before she started working in paper-scrap collages like she has been doing recently, but it's still Melissa Sweet's high-quality painting throughout. Highly recommended.

This is such a gentle and beautifully illustrated book about Halloween told from the perspective of a black cat who loves the night, especially Halloween Night. The kids hung on every word of the simple text and studied the beautiful illustrations with great interest. This is an amazing book that presents everything that is Halloween in a non-scary and gentle manner. Great ending book for a storytime.

This is a very simple picture book about a cat who loves Halloween. We follow the cat as she skulks about on Halloween night and finds some candy. even though the text is sparse and the story simple, there is something endearing about Moonlight that makes you forget all of the bad stereotypes about black cats. The acrylic and colored pencil illustrations are beautiful done in large bold strokes that brighten the nighttime setting.

I really like this Halloween book and think it would be a great choice for storytime with toddlers and preschoolers because it's not scary in the least. The illustrations are gorgeous and it's cool to see Halloween from a cat's perspective.

I like the story of a black cat touring the neighborhood for Halloween. However, as a volunteer for a local animal rescue, I worry that children will find it okay to let their black cats out at night. Not cool for the cat these days.

Who doesn't love Halloween books? We are still reading ours, and it is mid-November. This is a cute read for a preschool-aged child, and we will read it again next year.

This book is right up L's alley! She picked it out at the library before Halloween but then got distracted by other Halloween books and a magazine that arrived at the end of October and we never actually got around to reading this until now, closer to Thanksgiving. I wish we had read it before Halloween, as I think it's a great, non-spooky book for getting into the Halloween spirit. L (4) loved the illustrations of Moonlight the cat and was especially delighted that she found a candy treat at the end of the book.

Sparse text and cute illustrations would make this a cute halloween book! Definitely feels Halloweeny. I didn't automatically see a way to incorporate actions/interactions, but I bet I could figure it out.

This was a very nice Halloween book. My 3 year old granddaughter and I enjoyed reading and looking at the very beautiful illustrations. The story text is just a few words per page, but was enough to make a 'story' of the black cat. A nice little story.

Cute story of Moonlight, a little black cat whose big thrill is Halloween night! I'm glad moonlight gets a piece of candy in her own, warm home at the end.

One of my favorite Halloween books. Easy to read and keeps active kids engaged.
