5.0 out of 5 stars
Caldecott Honor Book filled with wonder,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Angry Moon (Paperback)
An amazing picture book by William Sleator (known for HOUSE OF STAIRS and other dark pieces of science fiction) and illustrated by Blair Lent (Caledecott winner for A FUNNY LITTLE WOMAN). It follows a young indian boy through an incredible journey to the moon to rescue his beloved. The artwork is resonant and meaningful and the story compelling. Lots of transformations and magical switcheroos make it satisfying for children of all ages. It is a shame this book is out of print. It needs to be brought back!!

wonderful for children,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Angry Moon (Paperback)
A young Tlingit boy goes in search of his friend whom the Angry Moon had kidnapped. He meets friends along the way who help him. It's a Native American "Jack in the Beanstalk" story. The art work is lovely, very worth it if you can find a copy. Great for teaching values about having good manners and finding friends in unlikely places.

20+ years later still well loved,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The angry moon (Hardcover)
I was maybe five when my dad read this book to me and now, 25 years later, I can still remember the wonder it instilled. If I had $50 to spare I would buy one of these old copies in a heart beat. As it is I can only implore any one in a position to reprint it to do so. You will not be disappointed: it may not seem like much to adults but to children this book is captivating. I can attest to the fact that this is a book a child will never forget.
For anyone searching: this is the one. An easily irritated moon carries off a child and her friend (brother maybe), Lupin, goes on a quest through dark primeval forests of the pacific northwest to save her. From a five year olds perspective this story is epic. I think the thing that stands out the most are the illustrations: dark blues and bright orange, two tiny little kids in a vast, malevolent world.
