Moonday (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781423119203)

From the bestselling author of School's First Day of School and other beloved picture books comes a fantastical, dreamlike, gorgeously-illustrated tale perfect for bedtime.

What do you do when the moon lowers itself into your backyard? When mornings are replaced by perpetual night, and people sigh-sleep in their eyes? What do you do when the tide comes in, and all the neighborhood dogs won't stop howling? You take the moon for a ride.

"Enchanting language and jaw-dropping premise place readers under a somnolent spell. Gentle rhymes, recurring consonance and almost subliminal rhythms make murky, dreamy paintings vivid and the surreal story sleepily spectacular.... This mashup of the ordinary and the far-out, of a little neighborhood and a giant, glowing orb from outer space, thrills." --Kirkus Reviews
