      This is a fun, easy read for children about a bear who decides he is going to talk to the moon. He wants to wish the moon a happy birthday. The bear then also says it is his birthday too. The bear gets the moon a present and the moon gets the bear the same present. It ends with the moon and bear both losing their present but of course they remain friends. It shares the theme of friendship and that presents are not all the matters.

      A good echo type book for 1st or 2nd grades, with cute pictures and story line. Bear is such a friendly character who is trying to be kind to moon for his birthday. Its a great story to use and teach about echos in the mountains as well.

      This book is truly a sweet and warming easy fiction book written in second person. The book tells the story of a bear that is interested in the moon. The pictures are illustrated extremely well, blue and very warm and also unique.

      Bear looked up at the moon he thought it would be nice to give the moon a present. He talks to the moon and the moon says he wants a hat for his birthday. He tried to place the hat on the moon but he couldn't reach. He also tried placing it on the tree branch until it was just right. In the night the hat fell off. The next morning bear was surprised to see a hat that he thought must be from the moon.

      In this book of the Moonbear series, Bear asks moon when his birthday is, Moon then questioning Bear's birthday. Being the subsequent day, Bear vies to buy a hat for the Moon and vice versa. So Bear empties out his piggy bank and and goes down to the hat shop, picking up a splendid hat for Moon. That night, Bear rests the hat purchased for Moon on a tree, and Moon slowly comes to try it on. The next morning, there is a hat lying on the doorstep of Bear. Bear tries on the hat, liking it, but the hat blows away. Bear then goes to talk to moon about it. Both of them admit loss of each other's gift hats, but tell each other they love one another and Happy Birthday. I really enjoyed this book. Frank Asch's Moonbear series will always have a special place in my heart, as their innocence and humor affect me more than so many other children's books. The artwork is simple, but perfect, the storyline continuity flows well, and its clever prose is cute.

      I thought the book, "Happy Birthday, Moon" was so cute! I would readl this book to kindergarten, or first graders. The little bear wants to get the moon something for his birthday. So he climbs in the tree but the moon still can not hear him. So then bear goes across the river and climbs the moutain so that the moon can hear him. He says Hello moon and then moon says Hello. It goes on back and fourth. The funny thing about it is that it is bear's echo that he hears, not the moon talking back to him. He asks the moon, "when is your birthday?" Of couse the moon says the same thing back. Bear tells the moon his birhtday is tomorrow and he wants a hat and of course the moon says the same thing back. The bear goes and buys the moon a hat and puts it in the tree so that the moon can find it. When he wakes up the next morning the hat is by his front door. So that night he goes across the river and climbs the mountain to thank the moon for his hat, and the moon says the same thing back. I really think that this would be a good book to read to younger students. It would then give you the opportunity to talk to them about real and fiction. You could also ask them why do they think the moon is saying the same thing back to the bear? I really enjoyed reading this book.

      A bear has a conversation with the moon and they even exchange birthday gifts. The perfect story to teach children about echoes.

      Another wonderful book by Frank Asch. This book is about Bear going to the moon. Bear went to the moon and found out that the moon had the same birthday as him and that the moon also wanted a hat like Bear did. The reason Bear thought this is because when he talked to the moon, he heard his echo but thought it was the moon talking. I really enjoyed the illustrations in the book. They were very peaceful. I think this would be a good book to be used in the classroom on a students birthdays and the class could possibly all make hats afterwards.
