Excellent story and beautiful, large, full color illustrations. I love this author so far and the Guardians of Childhood series for children. Tells the story of the Nightmare King and how the man in the moon came to be.

Reason for Reading: I received this book unsolicited but it captured my fancy as soon as I saw it. This is an absolutely beautiful book.

I love anything written by William Joyce, and "Man in the Moon" is no exception. The first thing I love about this book is the fantastical world that Joyce created with this series, and this book in particular. This book is the first in a series of all the traditional childhood fantasy characters...
