What the Sun Sees, What the Moon Sees
Here is a beautiful and unique picture book in turn-around format about the concept of day and night. Open the book, and the sun rises to reveal blue skies, crowded barnyards, and bustling streets. Turn the book over, and the moon comes up to the hush of night with its bright stars, hooting owls, and sleeping children. Young audiences will delight in the experience of going from morning to night -- and back again -- in this stunning creation from the Caldecott Honor -- winning author-artist of Have You Seen My Duckling?

Praise for this book
"A charming evocative way to contrast night and day. The first half of the book, "What the Sun Sees, " shows bustling streets, busy barnyards, and noisy playgrounds. In "What the Moon Sees, " the child gets the moon's point of view: empty streets, quiet barnyards, and silent playgrounds. Many picture books try to show the liveliness of the nighttime world, but few capture its quietness so tenderly. This will make a lovely closing for toddler storytime and for bedtime, too."" Booklist"
"An excellent concept book, similar in quality to the artist's many pastoral picture books."" School Library Journal"
