It is night. Inside a house, a child is getting ready for bed. A hall light is switched on, toys and animals are settled in their places. Papa reads a story, Mama comes in to say good night, dreams wait to enter sleep...And if the moon could talk, it would tell of the many different nighttime activities that it sees from its vantage point, outside the house and high, high above.
In this tranquil, evocative picture book, text and pictures illuminate interior and exterior nighttime scenes, showing us what the moon might see-and say, if it could talk.
And If the Moon Could Talk is the winner of the 1998 Boston Globe - Horn Book Award for Picture Books.

"The events [in a child's bedroom] are quiet ones--the tickingof a clock, the reading of a book . . . Alternating with theinterior landscapes is the moon's-eye-view across the globe ofother slumber scenes . . . nomads and camels crouched among desertdunes, a lion likcing her cubs in a faraway den. A dreaming childblends the two worlds in a caravan of color." --Starred, KirkusReviews
"A classic picture book of the highest caliber." --Starred, TheHorn Book
"With quiet phrases and luxurious color, Banks and Hallenslebenevoke a perfectly peaceful bedtime . . . As night gently envelopsthe landscapes, the words and art convey the snug warmth of afeatherbed and a world as small as a neighborhood." --Starred,Publisher's Weekly
