City Moon - Rachael Cole, Blanca Gomez
It’s bedtime in the bustling city. Teeth have been brushed and jammies are on, but a small boy and his mother delay slipping under sheets and blankets to venture into the cold and catch a glimpse of an old friend. At first the City Moon (Schwartz & Wade, $17.99) hides its face, but then it suddenly peeks out from behind the urban scape and welcomes its onlookers with comforting familiarity. Rachael Cole describes the journey with coziness and warmth, while illustrator Blanca Gómez displays familiar scenes that city dwellers old and young will recognize and appreciate. Ages 4-7.
