Wonderful Book

I bought 2 copies for my grandchildren as holiday gifts so unfortunately, they have yet to see them. However, book is just wonderful. I believe that they will love learning about the different moons as they are always looking for the moon and what is says to them.

Great book

We really enjoyed the book and learned so much in such a fun way. Carol Linda is an outstanding children’s author.

Such a Wonderful, Sweet Book

Oh my! I bought this book as a gift for my grand-niece but after reading it I decided to buy another one for our school library. The story/poem is clever and so informative (I didn’t know that all the monthly full moons had different names) and the art work is beautiful. Children of all ages will really love this book and I bet it will become their favorite bed-time story to be read over and over again.

WONDERFUL CHILDREN"S BOOK!

I just bought “Once in a Full Moon” by Carolinda Goodman for my grandson. It is a wonderful children’s book identifying the monthly full moons and their names, in rhyme. We both loved it! He not only learned about the full moons, so did I! It is also beautifully illustrated. I will buy more copies to give as gifts. WONDERFUL!

Wonders of the full moon!

Every month we celebrate a new moon. I had heard the terms “Harvest Moon” & “Once in a Blue Moon” but was clueless that every full moon is celebrated with a unique theme. That is, not until I read the delightful “Once in a Full Moon” by Carolinda Goodman. The brief stories of the Wolf Moon, the Strawberry Moon, the Sturgeon Moon & more bring new meaning to the night skies. And the gorgeous illustrations by Mariia Luzina nicely interpret what we learn in the stories. A great nature book to pique the imagination of ages 3-5, for parent & child to enjoy together or for story time at the library.

Beautiful book for children of all ages

This is an excellent book about the full moons of each month.
Beautifully illustrated with age appropriate rhyming verse. You will
love snuggling next to your child or grandchild to teach them about
the different full moons. I learned something myself and now when I say
to my grandchildren, “I love you up to the moon,” they will know exactly what I’m talking about.
Well done Carolinda!!!

Fun way to learn about the night sky.

I love this little book! I can’t wait to share it with my young grandson as we, together, learn the names of the moons. The rhyming text and rich illustrations are beautiful; they make me want to visit the night sky more often.
I bought a bunch of the books to give to my grandparent friends.

"Once in a Full Moon" is a great book for kids

I think that this book will help encourage children to look up at the night sky and really see the moon.. Children will enjoy the book because it teaches about the different phases of the moon in an easy to understand month-by-month way. The poetic verse is soothing to read and perfect for bedtime. Wonderfully illustrated.
I give the book 5 stars and recommend it as a perfect gift for curious minds.

Stunning.

Beautifully written and illustrated. A wonderful journey of reading to take as a child or adult. It is on my list of Christmas gifts to give this year. Lovely!
