Wait Till The Moon Is Full by Margaret Wise Brown 1948

Old Book Discovered, What a Great Find!

    This is a wonderful picture book, titled "Wait 'til the Moon is Full," by Margaret Wise Brown. (aka "Good Night Moon," author). This is an old book I found tucked away in a cedar chest. It came out the year 1948, so the illustrations are of that era. One can only think this a precursor to the theme of moons. The illustrations are beautifully done by Garth Williams.

    Margaret W. Brown has written many books over 50 and there is a long list on Wikipeadia to pursue.

    In this particular story, a Raccoon wants to go outside to see what the night beholds, but his Mother wants him to wait until the moon is full so he can see better I imagine, but the question that comes to mind... aren't raccoons nocturnal? I think they come out whether the moon is full or not. Lol. That is O.K. because it makes for a beautiful story for children ages 4-11. This particular book is not well known compared to her others; 

The four that I'm familiar with are;

• The Runaway Bunny, illus. Clement Hurd (Harper, 1942)

• Goodnight Moon, illus. Clement Hurd (Harper, 1947)

• Scuppers The Sailor Dog, illus. Garth Williams (Little Golden Books, 1953)

• Big Red Barn (reissue), illustrated by Felicia Bond

MY Dear PATREON Subscribers- Writing Children's books is a challenge due to the many things that go into it: the planning, the research, the design, the illustrations (they take time), the editing, the publishing, the distributing, the marketing, etc.
