"Full moon rising" is book about the mythology of full moon naming. Each month the full moon has been given a name relating to events that happen in that month like; the Snow Moon or Planting Moon. The story is told from the point of view of a youngster living on a farm who describes events that take place during that moon phase.
The narrative evokes images of rural life and the changing of the seasons. The illustrations are lush and detailed and filled with joy and contentment. The background for each page is a print of a seasonal nature which sometimes distracts the eye from the main illustration. This book may not be one that grabs the attention of a distracted toddler, but it is beautiful and interesting and it would be nice for a sleepy morning story time.
