About The Book

The classic first Moonbear story by National Book Award–winning author-illustrator Frank Asch gets a loving refresh to bring the bear who loves the moon to a new generation of young readers!

When Bear looks up and sees the moon for the very first time, it’s love at first sight. Night after night, Bear admires the moon, but soon realizes it’s growing smaller and smaller and smaller. Can Bear help stop the Moon from disappearing forever?

Originally published in 1978, Moonbear’s spare, sweet story and distinctive and intricate pen and ink drawings are sure to enchant young readers fascinated by nature and the night sky.
