review 1: I really loved the idea of I'll Follow the Moon, but I felt like so much more could have been done with the subject matter. What a sweet idea to think of turtles running back to the sea to find their mom. I understand why the author chose to use short, rhythmic lines in her writing, but I felt like they were a little too choppy to be easily read aloud in an interesting way. There is one line repeated on every page, which I liked, but I felt like its flowing rhymes did not match or compliment the rest of the writing.The illustrations were a little disappointing. There is so much brown, and the ocean water is not a pretty blue. The typographical layout is weak, and the perspective is off in several of the images, making the composition a little awkward. There are so many dar... moreling children's books out there, that I would probably pass on this one. It's just not my cup of tea.
review 2: I'll Follow the Moon is a whismical tale of a baby turtles journey from egg to reuniting with his mother. With it's lyrical verse, it was fun to read and makes a great bedtime story. It's soothing and the tale lulls you into a peaceful relaxed state.A baby turtle breaks free from his shell and begins his journey to find his mama " I'm coming, Mama, I'll see you soon . I know just how... I'll follow the moon. My kids loved knowing this verse was coming over and over again and would chime in with me when the time came. Naturally everyone's favorite part was the last page when baby turtle finds his Mama "I'm here, Mama-- here with you. I knew I'd find you, Moon did too.The illustrations and story were both wonderful! I highly recommend this one to add to your collection :) less
