One of Scholastic Parent and Child's 100 Greatest Books for Kids

I took the Moon for a walk last night.
It followed behind me like a still summer kite,
Though there wasn't a string or a tail in sight,
When I took the Moon for a walk.


Embark on a dreamy, nighttime jaunt with a young boy and the moon in this sweet and calming bedtime story. Together, they wander through tree lined lanes, find friends in the whistling dog choir, and discover the beauty of the outdoors at night.

  • The calming refrains makes this the perfect bedtime read
  • Includes endnotes about the moon and plants and animals that thrive in the wee hours

Awards & Accolades

  • One of Scholastic Parent and Child's 100 Greatest Books for Kids

"The rhyming text is told in first person, with the repetitive, soothing refrain of the words from the title effectively echoing throughout" — Kirkus Reviews

"I love the rhyming text the book is written in, because part of the beauty of poetry is its role in being able to say so much in so few words. The story is also beautifully illustrated" — Scholastic Child Education PLUS
