Papa, Please Get the Moon for Me

　　「爸爸，可以請你把月亮摘給我嗎？」

　　小女孩Monica如是問道，無所不能的老爸當然義不容辭一口答應，就看老爸搭起長長的梯子，準備這場摘月之旅…

　　著名繪本大師Eric Carle營造的一段饒富機智與創意的冒險，翻頁與折頁的組合也讓讀者眼睛一亮。而作者也將月圓月缺的天文現象不著痕跡的摻和在故事其中，讓本書感性與理性兼具。最後，也是最重要的，爸爸疼女兒的心意在這本繪本中表露無疑，當看到兩整頁女兒Monica手舞足蹈的繞圈圈時，那種滿足與欣慰的感覺不言可喻。雖說是童書，也推薦給所有「有女萬事足」的老爸！

Monica wants the moon to play with, so her Papa sets out to get it. It isn''t easy to climb to the moon, but he finally succeeds -- only to find the moon is too big to carry home. Children will love the joyful way in which this problem is solved.
Now available as a Classic Board Book edition, this delightful story literally unfolds as pages open dramatically, extending both outward and upward.
