The Man in the Moon as He Sails the Sky

collected and illustrated by Ann Schweninger 1979


Absolutely lovely collection of moon verse.  Mostly from Mother Goose but with some Wordsworth, Blake, Stevenson, and Lear included.  (The dedication "To Uri Shulevitz" is fitting.)







(How sweet is this fox and raccoon having tea by the light of the moon?!)
Tonight the color
Of the moon
Is amber tea
In a silver spoon.
