    Open the book, and the sun rises to reveal blue skies, crowded barnyards, and bustling streets. Turn the book over, and the moon comes up to the hush of night with its bright stars, hooting owls, and sleeping children. Each of the sun's sights"blue skies," "crowded barnyards," "sleeping owls"has a counterpart in the purview of the moon: "bright stars," "quiet barnyards," "hooting owls." A pleasant introduction to many opposites --busy/restful city and country scenes, awake/sleeping animals and children. Details from one picture transform themselves in the opposite, e.g., sunflowers, shown in a sun-drenched field, appear in a brightly lit florist's window, viewed from a dark and quiet city street. A spare and repetitious text reinforces the continuity and contrast of daytime and nighttime experiences.\n\nThe first half of the book, What the Sun Sees, shows bustling streets, busy barnyards, and noisy playgrounds. In What the Moon Sees, the child gets the moon's point of view: empty streets, quiet barnyards, and silent playgrounds, the details that bind the two parts together, such as the sunflowers--growing by day and in a florist's window at night. \n\n\n\nActivities:\nhttp://www2.scholastic.com/browse/collateral.jsp?id=951_type=Book_typeId=3128
