After learning to play hide-and-seek with his friend Little Bird, Moon Bear decides to play the game with the moon. When the moon slides behind some clouds, Moon Bear can’t find the heavenly body. Oh dear! “I think the moon is lost,” says Bear and then he asks the other forest animals to help find it.

Search as they might, the animals have no luck until the clouds move away and Moon once again shines down on them. “Bear was so happy he danced and danced.”

A simple story with pleasant illustrations, this Moon Bear story is ideal for young readers who are just beginning to read. The dialogue and sentence structure is manageable and the vocabulary is fairly basic. All in all, this story will be pretty easy to manage and make the youngster feel good about his or her new reading skills.
