From the Manufacturer

"Once Upon a Blue Moon" sends children on a quest of discovery and sparks their imaginations as they search for the origins of their beloved Freddy. ?As I recount in my book Reaching for the Moon, my life's journey was filled with magic and wonder. In Once Upon a Blue Moon, S.E. Blakeslee captures the same kind of magic. He weaves a fairy tale that ignites the imagination and encourages young children everywhere to uncover the mysteries of this world and beyond." - Astronaut, Buzz Aldrin, Apollo 11. The adventure of a lifetime begins when two children befriend a mysterious visitor that arrives after the rising of a blue moon. With their new friend as their guide, the children set out on a journey across time and space, exploring ancient cultures along the way. Once Upon a Blue Moon is a fairy tale wrapped within a mystery and features a tantalizing twist reminiscent of The Mysteries of Harris Burdick by Chris Van Allsburg. This special first edition is printed in nine spot colors. "This is an endearing story about a fantastical creature told in four-line rhymes throughout the entire story," commented Susan Ledford, a homeschooling mom who evaluated "Once Upon a Blue Moon" for TDmonthly Magazine.

5.0 out of 5 stars Children will be entertained, October 30, 2007
This review is from: Once Upon a Blue Moon(The Chronicles of the Blue Moon) (Hardcover)
Reviewed by Brianne Plach (age 10) for Reader Views (10/07)



Is the moon really full of cheese? What color is the moon? Well, the moon isn't blue. A young boy is looking out of his window at the moon so far up in the sky. He makes a wish for his friend to get better from her illness. An imaginary spirit, Mr. Moon, enters his room and turns his ordinary night into something truly spectacular.

"Once Upon a Blue Moon" is a book all set in blue hues. The pictures add to the delight in this story about a boy and his wish. This book teaches about love, friendship, hopes, dreams and wishes. This story could easily be a new night-time tradition. Children will be entertained, but also learn some valuable lessons along the way.

Sometimes we just like to wish for fun. But be careful what you wish for as it might just come true.

5.0 out of 5 stars Imaginative and Amusing Fun Read, April 10, 2007
This review is from: Once Upon a Blue Moon(The Chronicles of the Blue Moon) (Hardcover)
Just the whimsical cover of this charming book is sure to captivate children before they even open it. Two happy kids with huge smiles provide an immediate clue that this will be a fun read.

Inside, every page is lush and appealing. The oversized text and fun pictures bounce off the page. The full-page, amusing illustrations and delightful verse can entertain children from pre-school up to about grade four; and the element of mystery keeps kids turning the pages to find out what happens next.

This is the perfect "before bed" book for parents to read with their kids. The sweet story, though a fairy tale, provides a perfect opportunity for practical application. Parents can use the book as a springboard to discuss with children compassion for others (like the boy who wishes for his sick friend), gladness for the good fortune of another, and the concept that true love helps others.

Once Upon a Blue Moon would make a great gift for any child who believes wishes can come true.
