"This was my favorite book growing up. I could proably tell you the story without even having the book. It is about Racoon who wants to go out and play, but his mom keeps telling him to wait, wait till the moon is full."
"I think I'm choosing the ones that Ethan actually asked for more than once. This little raccoon is so Ethan, and the writing is one of Margaret Wise Brown's most magical (like The Color Kittens and Goodnight Moon)."
"this absolutely delightful children's book is fully illustrated by Garth Thompson, and tells about a young raccoon who hungers to go out and play. But his mother warns him to wait until the moon is full. the book is full of songs that the mother sings as she rocks her youngster (that the adult reader gets to make up tunes to). i think it encourages children's curiosity and bravery about the dark, and showcases many mammalian creatures who can be found outside only at nighttime. These animals are personified, and the mother raccoon is warm and loving and the child raccoon is fun loving and as persistent as any child who consistently and constantly asks for something, only to be put off just a little longer.
The book teaches children that the dark is a warm and cozy place, and when the moon is full is such a special time that "all creatures who love the dark come out when the moon is full.""
