In the book Papa, Please Get the Moon for Me, Monica is a little girl who dreams of dancing with the moon. The father goes on a ladder to get the moon but it is too big for him to carry down the ladder. So, Monica and her father wait until the moon gets smaller, which it eventually does. Then the father goes back up and gets the moon for her. Then Monica can dance with the moon!
Of course, there are a lot of things scientifically inaccurate about this, but it is a story that introduces to kids the concept that the moon changes over the course of a month. We learned about the moon phases and made our own moons.
Then Caroline delighted in dancing with the moon!
Paul danced with the moon too, but mostly I think he was being a stand-in for Mom to test the lights.
Mary was a happy watcher.
But then she started to wonder: “Can I Dance with the Moon too?”
Nope, Caroline beat her to the moon!
