DESCRIPTION:
Marie took a huge pair of scissors, and cutting the moon out of the sky, hung it right in her bedroom. Poor Marie! Every night as she climbed into bed, she got a visit from three monsters. How could the king make things right for everyone? A delightful tall tale for bedtime or anytime.. No darkness, no monsters! Her plan worked perfectly, or so she thought but without a moon in the sky, the village cats were in total darkness! They began bumping into everything, and winding up in the hospital. They only came out in darkness, so she knew they must be afraid of the light. With no cats to chase them, the mice ran amuck. But Marie wouldn't agree--not until she was sure those monsters were gone. Finally the king found Marie: "You must return the moon to the sky!" he said
She currently lives in Paris.. Marjane Satrapi is the award-winning author/illustrator of the bestselling graphic-novel memoirs, Persepolis and Persepolis 2, which tell of her years growing up in Iran
"Good Children's Book from Marjane Satrapi" according to Lynn Ellingwood. This book isn't as good as Marjane Satrapi's adult graphic novels are. The story doesn't quite jell and it doesn't quite make sense, but I think it is an earnest attempt at a children's book and my students will like it. My kids are learning English and I think the beginning readers will have a good experience reading the story. It is simple and direct.. H. Smith said great for newer readers.

When I read this story, I found it humorous but a bit too silly. Kids seem to have a form of logic we adults can't always confront. This book makes more sense and is funnier to children than one would think.The story is that Monsters are afraid of the moon. To ward off monsters under her bed, a girl steals the moon from the sky. This makes cats bump into things and so they send a cat to guard her at night to have the moon returned.I love the illustrations, and my son of Kids love it! Kevin A.

The book is brightened by Satrapi's illustrations, which are a vibrant treat. All rights reserved. The ending will make readers smile but it feels like the conclusion of a folktale without an introduction. The use of eye-popping colors and nuanced expressions make the monsters just a little bit intimidating but not overly frightening.–Tamara E. The notion of a city populated by anthropomorphic cats is charming but seems startling given that Marie is a human girl, and no further exposition is given. While the bold, colorful cartoon illustrations and the simple text are accessible and inviting, the story lacks logic.
