The Moon Might Be Milk


BY LISA SHULMAN
ILLUSTRATED BY WILL HILLENBRAND
DUTTON, PRESCHOOL-GRADE 2

Rosie wonders: What is the moon made of? Cat thinks the moon is a saucer of fresh milk, spilled from the sky into puddles on the ground. Dog thinks its a pat of sweet, creamy butter. Butterfly thinks its made of sugar: sticky and sparkling and oh, so sweet. But Gran knows best. Using milk, butter, sugar, and other ingredients, she shows Rosie how to bake moonshaped cookies and captures a magical piece of the moon in her very own kitchen. This classic-in-the-making from Grans hearth is sure to inspire family baking and sharing. "Sugar cookie recipe included."

The mixed-media artwork features Hillenbrand's strong, distinctive lines that define the characters, colors that range in intensity from brilliant to muted, and a rich array of patterned surfaces that make the settings varied and vivid.
