Reviews
"What it lacks in subtlety, the warning against violence and guns makes up for in prudence .an uplifting bedtime narrative." Kirkus Reviews "A good story with some great illustrations, and has a great theme of team work." Mundie Kids "This cautionary tale presents the possible repercussions of violence and other forms of mischievous behavior yet also demonstrates how teamwork can help unify and achieve common goals. A good read-aloud and discussion starter for young children." School Library Journal "...theme that actions have consequences. "Bang Bang I Hurt the Moon" is about the uphill climb to right a wrong." -- Midwest Book Review "I love that this book addresses a very serious issue without being too preachy .The illustrations are gorgeous and appealing to younger children. Also I feel this would be a great book to share with children and discuss afterwards. Beautifully illustrated picture book that shows the consequences of playing with a gun that children can relate with."
