Description
A twinkly, comforting novelty book by an award-winning author/illustrator! One night on the farm everything is topsy-turvy and the moon will only smile when things are put right. It's time for him to light the stars, one by one. This deeply satisfying counting story twinkles with warmth and ingenuity. Interactive and great fun, this book combines die-cut pages and peek-through holes.;Petr Horacek's novelty board books, "What is Black and White" and "Strawberries are Red" won the 2002 Books for Children Newcomer Award.
