(2) K-3 Illustrated by Tomie dePaola. MacLachlan's lyrical text combines with ethereal illustrations by dePaola in this simultaneously nostalgic and fresh bedtime book. As the sky slowly darkens, mime Pierrot and his child wait for the moon to rise and encounter animals settling down for the night. References to twinkling little stars evoke one famed nursery rhyme; a dog jumping over the moon is a playful twist on another.
