Opening:
Little Honey Bear couldn’t sleep. Through his bedroom window the moon was shining as bright as day. The snowy woods glimmered in the brilliant moonlight. And surely the moon was smiling at him.
Synopsis: Little Honey Bear and two friends set off to visit the friendly moon, following the shining silvery moonpath they discover one winter’s night. But suddenly, the path gets steeper, the wind grows colder, and the moon disappears. Alone in the dark, the three friends worry that they might not find their way home.
A delightful and magical story of friendship.
Activities: Friendship activities, moon phases activity.
I love how magical this story is, a treat for everyone. Happy Father’s Day to all the dads on Sunday!

The cover illustration is adorable! You’ve definitely made me want to read the book and find out what happens. Thanks, Catherine!

It looks and sounds delightful, Catherine! Thanks so much for adding it to our list. I love books like this!
This sounds really adorable and it has a great message! Great cover illusration!
awwww…. this is really cute…. love the cover illustration. I would have grabbed it in an instant if I had spotted it at our library. As Erik said, a great message. Thanks for sharing Catherine.
What a way to go out with a bang, Catherine (at least until the return of PPBF). This looks like an amazing book.
It’s funny I still have a backlog of ones I can’t wait to share. But this is perfect for a dreamy summer’s evening.
Ooh, so cute. It reminds me of Kitten’s First Full Moon.
I haven’t read that one, Vicki. It sounds just as cute.
Love the cover. Such a sweet bed time book with a wonderful message. You pick such lovely books.
This sounds like a great read for my boys. They love animals and stories of bravery.
Looks terrific. Is Gillian Lobel a relation to the PB giants Anita and Arnold, may he rest in peace?
I’ve no idea, Julie. I did wonder. Maybe a niece, let’s find out.
Beautiful cover and great write up… Love the photo of you reading… Phew! Still catching up.
