The Moon Might Be Milk written by Lisa Shulman, and illustrated by Will Hillenbrand, is an engaging and fun story, with an interesting twist at the end. While looking out of her window at the moon one night, Rosie has a question. “What is the moon made of?” Rosie goes on a quest to find the answer, and each animal friend she asks decides to come along and see what the next answer will be. Everyone knows their answer is the right one. Is it flour? An egg? Grandma knows the answer to Rosie’s question, so who will be right? It couldn’t be everyone, could it?

Animalia
Submitted by Ms. Allana!
Animalia by Graeme Base. Everyone knows you should never judge a book by its cover, but if you are an animal lover you can’t help but be attracted to this book immediately, because of the cover! When you open the book it only gets better. Each page is filled with the most vibrant and exciting artwork, together with awesome alliteration, which I am a fan of: “Ingenious Iguanas improvising an intricate impromptu on impossible impractical instruments.” Maybe not all of the words will be understood, however, Graeme Base has a distinctive style that kids of all ages will enjoy.
