Product Information

As happens with most kids, the young monkey does not want to go to sleep. Not being tired, and looking out of the window, the monkey decides to catch the moon. But how can it be done? Music composed by Warren Defever, Bob Dylan, Stephen Foster, Dan Littleton, Lisa Loeb, Elizabeth Mitchell After reading “Catch the Moon” and “The Bass, The River, and Sheila Mant one can conclude that the two stories have similarities and difference. The short story “Catch the Moon” is about a disobedient teenager named Luis who works off community service hours at his dad’s Junkyard but when he was stalling to clean hubcaps that his father wanted him told him to do a girl named Naomi came to the Junkyard and asks Luis’s father to search for a specific hubcap for an old vintage car and when Luis sees Naomi he instantly falls in love with her and looks for and cleans the hubcap that Naomi looked for and also made a display of hubcaps for his father's job and goes to Naomi’s home to give it to her to see if he’ll get the girl.

As you may have guessed, Catch the Moon is about climbing up into the night sky to grab that globe of glorious Gouda….haha okay so even I know the moon is not made of cheese. But how cool would that be?!

Catch the Moon is one of those games. A simple concept with simple execution and a fun hook leads to lots of fun. Did you use your imagination, in trying to do that impossible thing? If so, how did imagination help you? If you drop your ladder or any ladders fall off onto the cloud base or the table, they are removed from the game, and you receive a raindrop. The game ends when either (a) all the ladders are used or (b) all 7 raindrops have been taken. And the winner is the player with the fewest raindrops in total! Catching And DroppingIf you didn’t use imagination in trying to achieve your special task, how about you use it now? What are some ways that you could have achieved this thing you really wanted, which seemed impossible, by using your imagination? Poem for Kids written by Phoebe Coghlan Illustrated by Tanya Razumna Efrat Haddi is a superb story teller, whether telling something serious or funny. In this humorous book with a delightful monkey as a character, she tells a fun tale based upon the customary habit, a very good habit, of kids using their imagination, sometimes to do something that is possible, and sometimes, as in this funny book, to do the impossible. The story is not only enjoyable, but it will prompt children to think. The little wooden ladders are so cute. It’s like they were made for the wee mice who scurry around our hen house looking for spilt corn. They are bent in different shapes, and some have rungs missing (on purpose! No need to call Kosmos!). The raindrops are lovely chunky wooden tokens too, and it all slots onto a cloud base that looks champion on the table. I am slightly worried that we might play this so much that we end up snapping a ladder or two. But that is surely the sign of an excellent game – wearing out solid components through overuse must be a publisher’s dream! Catch The Moon Open the box and you’ll find a dice, some raindrop tokens, a plethora of wooden ladders and a plastic cloud shaped base. To set-up the game you will put the three ‘normal’ shaped ladders into the base randomly and you are ready. On your turn you roll the dice which will tell you that you must place a new ladder touching exactly one or two ladders or being the highest ladder on the cloud. Make any ladders fall or touch the cloud and you take a raindrop. Three raindrops ends the game and the person with the least raindrops wins. Easy.

The youngster tries a couple of ways. Balloons fly into the air, so it seems to make sense to hold onto a small collection of balloons and fly up to the moon and catch it this way. It doesn't work. Next, the monkey tries to build a ladder to climb up to the moon, with the same result.
