The Man in the Moon by William Joyce

Summary: When a newly orphaned baby in the moon makes friends with the children of Earth, he begins to shine as brightly as possible to ward off their fears.

This is a fantastically illustrated story. The story is lengthy, and most appropriate for advanced primary age students to read to themselves. Preschool age children with a long attention span may enjoy listening to this read aloud on a one-on-one.
