Moon Boy by Barbara Brenner

This is a story for beginning readers (lower elementary). It is the story of a 'moon boy' who visits the narrorator's room at night and plays games with him.
One of the merits of this book is that the words are simple to read for beginning readers. There is lots of repetition of certain words and phrases, for example the sentence "the moon was a gold balloon." This story is also fairly imaginitive, the idea of a little moon beam that becomes a boy when it lands on the narrarator's windowsill would probably delight young readers. Although this book was sufficiently interesting it was not my favorite... it felt like nothing really happened in the story and the repetition got sort of annoying. I would still recommend it for beginning readers though because it is good practice.
