Book Review: Little Rabbit Wants the Moon

Little Rabbit Wants the MoonLittle Rabbit Wants the Moon 
by Lauren Kukla
My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Using insomnia to teach about nocturnal creatures! This adorable, perfect for bedtime, storybook tells of a little rabbit that can’t sleep and wishes to touch the moon. I love how clever this story is. It highlights and talks about other animals and their features (ie: bats and wings, possums and tails, etc) whilst also ensuring Mama rabbit points out all the advantages to being a rabbit (ie: quick feet, tail imitation, etc). If only we could always think to answer every child’s request to be like someone else with a way of pointing out how they also have great attributes and reaffirm that it’s okay to be you!
I love how dark and moody the pages are in these illustrations. Perfect for nighttime reading and not overstimulating a child. I see this as the perfect bedtime story for any child in any situation. It’s a universal message presented in a perfect way!

Please note: I received an eARC of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. This is an honest and unbiased review.
