When Moon Fell Down

When Moon Fell Down Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Moon fell down one night...

Fell upon a farmer's lawn,

Rolled about in sheer delight

On fields he'd only shined upon.

When Moon falls down one night, he and an adventure-minded cow roan up hills and down, wander through city streets, and finally return back home at dawn.A joyous and lyrical romp, this picture book captures the magic and wonder of seeing familiar things in a whole new way.

Review:

"Gently humorous...youngsters may see nighttime in a new light."(School Library Journal)

Review:

"Sweetly funny"(starred reviewBooklist)

Synopsis:

Moon has never had so much fun. First he falls out of the sky, then he's out on the town with a cow in this lyrical romp through country hills and city streets. Full-color illustrations.

Synopsis:

Moon has never had so much fun. First he falls out of the sky, then he's out on the town with a cow he befriends in this lyrical romp through country hills and city streets. It's a rare and luminous evening, so what can Moon do but stay out all night? Evoking the classic timelessness of Margaret Wise Brown, this original and magical story offers a fresh look at a familiar world suddenly gone sideways.

About the Author

Linda Smith was "Mrs. Biddlebox" during her two-year battle with breast cancer. Linda died on June 28, 2000, but left behind a world of language, love, and good humor that shines through in her debut book, When Moon Fell Down, and now in the delightfully witchety Mrs. Biddlebox.
