Carle, whoseThe Very Hungry Caterpillar has been extraordinarily successful, scores again with this stunning picture book, drawn in thick, brilliant brushstrokes of blues and greens and reds that dazzle the eye. Monica wants to play with the moon, but can’t reach it, so she asks her father to get it for her. Ingeniously designed with several fold-out pages, the books opens out horizontally to show a very long ladder Papa fetches, opens vertically to show him climbing the ladder above a very high mountain, and unfolds into a huge spread of the full moon, where the ladder has led Papa. But the moon is too big for him to carry, so he waits while it grows smaller, until finally it is the right size to bring home to Monica. She jumps and dances and frolics with it, but it keeps shrinking, until one day it’s gone. But not for long: a thin sliver soon appears in the sky, growing larger and becoming full once again. A splendid introduction to the monthly lunar cycle, this is also a wondrous work of art that will stand up to countless readings. 

小茉莉很想和月亮一起玩，但她摘不到月亮，便拜托爸爸把月亮摘下来，于是，爸爸拿了一把好长好长的梯子，架在一座好高好高的山上，努力地向上爬呀爬，但是月亮太大拿不下来，爸爸只好等到月亮变成下弦月，才把月亮带回给小茉莉玩……

Before Monica went to bed she looked out of her window and saw the moon. The moon looked so near. “I wish I could play with the moon,” thought Monica, and reached for it. But no matter how much she stretched, she could not touch the moon. “Papa,” said Monica to her father, “Please get the moon for me.”…
