Rabbit Moon weaves together a tale of wishes, play, loneliness, and friendship -- beautifully illustrated in a style that evokes Kevin Henkes, Jon Muth, Shaun Tan, and Renata Liwska.

Bedtime wishes take flight on paper airplanes, traveling all the way to the moon. There Rabbit gathers the night's haul, grinds the wishes into stardust, and fills the sky with their starlight. It is a beautiful sight to behold, but lonely work. So one night, Rabbit takes a wish and makes it float down to earth; when it comes true, he makes new friends and the star work takes a back seat to some well-earned fun. But as each day fades, so do the night stars. And with the first starless sky, Rabbit realizes it's time to make the journey home. It is a sad departure, but Rabbit's friends make one last wish, and send an astronomical gift.

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreS-K—A rabbit who lives on the moon turns bedtime wishes into stars. One day he decides to take a star and grant a wish of his own. He sails down to Earth and has the opportunity to have fun with some newfound friends. This whimsical story has a rhyming structure that makes it a wonderful read-aloud. The plot is inspired by Korean folklore and includes many fantastical elements that can be attributed to traditional folk narrative. The text is written in a gold font which gives it an illuminated look reminiscent of stars in the night sky. Fragmented sentences will keep readers engaged and curious about what happens next. Paneled illustrations convey sequential happenings and movement in the story and provide interesting details that are not conveyed in the text. Playful rounded animal characters pop against the dark night sky. VERDICT A calming and refreshing bedtime selection that explores themes of friendship, imagination, and exploration.—Deanna Smith, formerly at Mamaroneck Public Library, NY

Review

Praise for Rabbit Moon"Kim's debut as both author and artist... with its friendly glow and reassuring companionship, is one children will want to return to." -- Publishers Weekly"Kim's scenes are drawn in pencil and then digitally colored, and they have a softness around the edges, establishing a cozy mood that is sustained by the gentle rhymes." -- Kirkus Reviews"Influenced by Korean folklore of the rabbit in the moon, Kim has fashioned a tale of adventure for the solo bunny... Soft, rounded, and appealing characters... will be enjoyed by very young children." -- Booklist

I've been really into reading children's books lately. I picked this one out for a friend's daughter but had a lot of fun reading it myself. The illustrations are delightful and the plot is sweet and interesting.

I got this book from the library, and loved it so much I bought it. A lot of kids books are similar storylines, and this one was just different for once, so sweet, love that wishes become stars. Pretty illustrations.

I loved the creativity behind the story and illustrations. I also liked that it was inspired from an Asian folklore, allowing a natural transition to discuss about related stories with children after reading the book.

This is a delightful little book. My 4 year old twins get very excited when we read a new book and this was not a disappointment. The the illustrations are pretty great and allow for more discussion than the simple words of the story. We found ourselves discussing all of the nuances on each page.

This is based on Asian folklore and is a story that I have not heard before. Instead of a man, a rabbit lives in the moon and he receives wishes in the form of letters from Earth. He takes those wishes, helps to make them a reality and then grabs a wish of his own. As a responsible friend, he notices that wishes aren't being granted by the lack of stars in the sky. Leaving his friends, he decides to do the honorable thing and go back to work leaving. His friends then come up with a fantastic way to grant rabbit a wish and keep in touch. Again a great little story with really nice illustrations. It's a large book and there is a high-quality feel to the paper and jacket.

'Rabbit Moon' is Jean Kim's first solo novel, and I'm impressed! In 'Rabbit Moon' she takes the Asian folklore of the rabbit and mortar seen in the moon and turns it into the most adorable bedtime story. It's beautifully illustrated, with quaint little animals characters and glowing stars that leap off the page.

My favorite thing about 'Rabbit Moon' is that it is significant in length, it has many pages, yet it isn't verbose. My favorite type of children's book! Especially at bed time when you just need them to go to bed! Right? Because mommy needs a break! 'Rabbit Moon' provides an enriching, beautiful story, but will not run long. Each page has few words. The reading is very short and to the point, really. This makes it a great choice for little pre-readers, OR also a great choice for new readers if they will be reading the book to you. In this way, 'Rabbit Moon' is a great bed time book for kids of ALL ages who still enjoy picture books. I sort of cringe when my kids pick a bedtime picture book, only for me to open it and see that all 20 pages of 3-4 paragraphs per page. Too long! Those stories and books have their place, sure. But there is something to be said for the art of being brief! Especially at bedtime. This isn't a board book, but it sort of reads like one, and kids can read more into the illustrations as well. Part of the storytelling is the illustration.

As I said, the illustrations (important to me, as I come from a family of artists and writers) are beautiful to look at. The story is about the moon rabbit from Asian folklore, and his job at night is to use his mortar to crush the dreams and wishes sent to him into beautiful glowing stars each night. But he decides to take a trip down to earth, makes some friends, and eventually ends up back at the moon. It's a cute story, and an easy read.

It comes with a dust jacket, and is hard cover. The hard cover features the rabbit and the glowing star, but is missing the 'Rabbit Moon' title that is on the dust jacket. The illustrations are full-page. This would make a great addition to any family's bedtime library, or also a great gift for the new reader or the little one. I will definitely look forward to seeing more from Jean Kim. What a treat!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Rabbit in the Moon

Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )
I love rabbits. I love moons. This is a sweet bedtime book primarily intended for the toddler set--and older, too, because you're never too old. The illustrations are sweet and interesting. The rabbit in the moon decides to leave the moon and come to earth to make friends and have adventures. Usually the rabbit is busy putting the stars in the sky, an important job. Friends are made on earth but the sky eventually goes dark with no one to put the stars up so the rabbit decides to go back and resume the job. The new friends are only a wave away through a telescope. There's a touch of bittersweet but even some potential for discussion about the importance of jobs and responsibilities as well as friendships. It has been a keeper for our personal picture book library.
