THE MOON JUMPERS

by Janice May Udry ‧ RELEASE DATE: March 1, 1959

The fascination of the moon is vividly expressed in this account of a family of children and their evening frolics. Janice May Udry, author of A Tree is Nice, captures the fey quality of her children who every night, before bed, go lyrically mad in pursuit of the moon, capering and pretending under the bright summer sky. A poetic experience well supported by the romantic color drawings of the noted illustrator, Maurice Sendak, The Moon Jumpers forcefully suggests that all the magic in the world is not encompassed by the television set and the new wide screen.
