🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Four Point Five Stars

Yeti organizes the community block party every year, but not this time. So both Monster and Clown decide to take up the work. But they both have very different plans on how things should go. Neither agree on anything in common because Monster wants a scary party and Clown wants it to be funny. What happens after that? The illustrations were wonderful and I enjoyed the book. Lovely read for older kids and adults too.

Possum’s strong tail would help Little Rabbit swing from the tallest tree. Bat’s wings would help Little Rabbit soar through the sky. Beaver’s sharp teeth and claws would help Little Rabbit build a ladder straight up to the moon.

With warmth and wisdom, she reminds her little one of the unique traits that make him an essential part of the forest family. Then she gently sends him on his own magical journey to the moon by encouraging him to clos...
