A little look inside.

After the rain, Deer and Fox find a bright moon in a shallow puddle. They try to help it home, discovering that some things change when you look at them another way.

Read the pictures and words together, or let the cast tell the story while you turn the pages.

From the book

Shall we turn the page?

Deer stops at shallow path puddle, forehoof hovering at safe edge; Fox almost bumps her hindquarters, paws braced. Bright round moon reflection lies on still surface between rain-dark leaves.
After the rain, Deer found a bright round moon in the shallow puddle beside the path. She stopped so suddenly that Fox nearly bumped her. “The moon has fallen. We'd better help.”
Fox slides folded broad leaf under reflected circle, concentrating; ripples stretch bright reflection into silver ribbons. Deer watches closely, lowered muzzle.
Fox folded a broad leaf into a little bowl. “We'll scoop it up.” He slid the leaf beneath the bright circle. The water wobbled. The moon broke into silver ribbons.

Good to know.

Can we read without narration?

Yes. Turn the pages and read the words together. Narration is optional and begins only when you press play.

What can we download?

Read, listen and keep the story. Find the PDF, EPUB and complete read-aloud under Downloads for grown-ups at the end of the reader.

How should we choose a story?

Try the pictures, the opening and the voices. Pointing, listening, joining a sound or talking about a picture are all ways to share it. Choose the pace and level of help that suit your child.
