The Moon Children

Students liked this book because it was funny that the mice thought the moon was made out of cheese. The mice were arguing but then they problem solved to find a solution. They thought it was clever that the mice were grouped into different cheese groups; the names of the groups were hilarious!

They felt like it was a tad short. It ended abruptly. They were also disappointed to find out that there was not cheese in the moon.

Thanks to NetGalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review from my first graders.

This was a really cute story and I absolutely loved the pictures. It is something that I would consider buying my own children to read to them. I will definitely be coming an eye out for more works from this author in the future!

I loved this book! I’m obsessed with the illustrations and they are one of the best I’ve seen in a children’s book so far. The storyline is so cute and I loved all the cheese references. There is a bit of a religious aspect to it but it’s not heavily thrown in your face. I could definitely see kids loving this story.

I am absolutely shocked this story doesn’t have any other reviews. I fell in love with it and definitely will be purchasing a few copies.

Thank you to the author and NetGalley for this e-ARC.

This was such an interesting read. The story was a great length for my kids, and touched on different belief systems and how they interact in a very easy to comprehend way. Definitely a great conversation starter with your little ones without digging into an intense theology lesson on each religion.

The Moon Children follows mice who believe the moon is made of cheese and will fly to it to confirm their theories. The illustrations were adorable, and I loved all of the cheese puns.

The story definitely seems to be a metaphor for religion and what different sects believe. It is a great way to discuss those differences with your children.

Thanks to NetGalley, E. G. Creel, and Victory Editing for the chance to review!

Beautiful book with amazing illustration.
I loved that it tackles the belief systems of people, providing understanding about why people might believe differently.
This is a great concept and a cool way to showcase this to children.
I’d absolutely buy this in the store for my child.
I do think it ended a little quickly but overall it was delightful.

Why couldn't this be longer?

I had such a chuckle reading this story. On the one hand, there is the illusion of innocence as the little mice squabble about their beliefs and set about proving who's right. It encourages children to wonder and to defend their views. On the other hand, as a grown-up, I couldn't help relating this to the way different faith group can blindly follow faith, and how scientists persistently seek a truth they can see. The pictures were wonderfully drawn too. Beautiful color palette, All in all, a thoroughly enjoyable book that I could happily read again and again, and I'm sure children will request again and again.

The Moon Children has such adorable artwork. I was hooked from the first page because the mice are so cute. The story is also funny and sweet. This book also held a deeper meaning about familial legacy and encouraging your own exploration and discovery. It is important to not just believe what you are told so that we can grow and move forward. It also touches on how different beliefs can pull us apart, dividing us instead of uniting us. At the end of the story we see the mice coming together to hatch a plan to discover the truth . Their unity makes it farther in discovery than their differences.

This was a spectacular story about a group of mice on a quest to the moon, as they have believed for generations that the moon is made of cheese.

The illustrations in this book were absolutely breathtaking, a young reader will absolutely adore and laugh with these characters. I’m a huge cheese enthusiast, so I loved the cheese references.

The story also tackles belief and curiosity, the concept was clever and I can definitely see a young reader enjoying this book!
