Having seen La Luna, the short animation, prior to Brave, I was just amazed. The next day I hopped on Amazon and ordered the book. You will love this book both as a reader and a listener. Wonderful and magical all in a short little book.

This is a fantastic story for any age.
It is exactly the same as the Pixar short for the most part. When I saw the short in theaters with Brave, I absolutely loved it and believe it was 100% better than Brave.
The book's illustrations are obviously different than Pixar's animation so you can't really fault them for that...
It is just a great read. One of the best children's books I have seen in a while

My son and I loved the film short when we saw it in the theatre, so as soon as I saw a book, I ordered it. The film is so much better though because the artwork just really doesn't pop in the book like it does on screen. Also, the book has text explaining the story, which does not happen in the film. We just get sound, and I think that was much more effective. When I read the book to my son, I can hear in my head the sound of the stars moving, and it's lost on the book. A cute book, but I wouldn't have bought it if I previewed it first.

Loved this short in Brave and the book is just as good. My daughter loves the book more than she did the movie short and that's saying a lot for a three year old

Lovely.
Pixar's short brought to life in a hard book. Beautiful illustrations tell the story of a little boy who goes to clean the moon with his father and grandfather.
