The Moon Jumpers

By Janice May Udry

The Moon Jumpers
Reviewed by Children’s Book List

Four children play in the moonlight before bedtime on a soft summer night.

Rating: 5 *****

The children’s actions are almost like a poem with lines such as “We climb the tree, just to be in a tree at night.”

Flashlight

By Betsy James

Flashlight

Waking up in the dark at Grandpa’s house can be scary–the door in the hallway looks like a cave, and that noise could be a bear. Lucky for Marie, the bear is really Grandpa, who’s come to offer some reassurance and a flashlight that will make the dark house a lot less spooky.

Rating: *****

Everything looks different in the dark, especially when you’re not in your own house. But with family and a creative solution all turns out well.
