Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreSchool-Grade 1-This story combines elements found in Marjorie Flack's Ask Mr. Bear (Macmillan, 1932) and Mike Thaler's Moonkey (Harper, 1981; o.p.); however, it is not as successful as either of those titles. A monkey and a dinosaur try to choose a birthday gift for their friend Owl. They decide that the moon would be the perfect gift, but retrieving it is no easy task. Even forming a vertical animal chain of towering dinosaurs, agile monkeys, and others doesn't work. They finally decide to wrap a window and give Owl a view of the moon. Schindler's multihued watercolors featuring playful animals are quite appealing, and the double-page spreads of parading dinosaurs will surely delight young readers. Unfortunately, the illustrations are not enough to make up for the lackluster text. The present tense narrative is awkward, almost halting at times. The choppy style is at odds with a story that hinges on movement and action. A promising idea?a flawed execution.?Heide Piehler, Shorewood Public Library, WI

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful friendship story, May 23, 2006
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Full Moon Birthday (Hardcover)
This is a perfect example of what friends will do for one another. Dinosaur and Monkey are not sure what to get their friend Owl for his birthday. A new winter coat? No. A new pair of shoes? No. What will they get for Owl? Read this wonderful book to find out.
