Really nice harvest story!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Our son and we really like this book a lot!!! It is very hard in my opinion to find really beautiful children's books theses days, that do not talk down to children or assume they show no interest in the seasonal changes and nature anymore. This book conveys autumn nights beautifully, we love to cuddle up in bed and read this!
Lovely Moon

This book, like the Harvest Moon it celebrates, "...floods us with dreams and memories..." [page 29] through its magical complement of word and brushwork. The hauntingly lovely illustrations, which will captivate the eyes of the young and old, conduct us through a nature flight with a very special and unobtrusive guide whose words perfectly reflect the reverence and mystery of the visual experience.A niggling complaint about the "facts" of the book ("The illustration look like New England ...and sea turtles nest at the furthest north in Virginia") suggests the reviewer has read the book and missed the experience. It is not a nature guide, but an exploration of nature's beautiful changes, and our emotional responsiveness, both in and out of nature. Einstein, for whom facts held some sway, nonetheless thought "Imagination...is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world." I think one of my fellow reviewers has missed the magic of 'Hello, Harvest Moon' for the trees. The book is a marvelous accomplishment.
