Summary

Juanito looked outside one dark night and discovered the moon was nowhere to be seen! Where could it have gone? Is it hiding under the bed or behind a great mountain? He wonders if the coyote took it to his lair, but the wily canine couldn't catch the slippery moon. "Aaah-ooooooh, aaaah-ooooooh, aaaah-ooooooh," he cries sadly. Maybe the cicada's deafening screeches made it disappear! Or did the owl bewitch the luminous moon? Perhaps the frog drowned it in the lagoon! Could the fireflies' bright lights have hidden its glow? Juanito just doesn't know! This charming story by Aracely De Alvarado introducing the phases of the moon to children is enlivened by Victoria Castillo's bright, eye-catching illustrations depicting the nighttime sky and animals in their habitat. Kids ages 4 - 8, and some adults too, will enjoy repeating the sounds animals make in English and Spanish!
