An enjoyable story from Edna Mitchell Preston is paired with delightfully charming artwork from illustrator Barbara Cooney in Squawk to the Moon, Little Goose. The text has an engaging rhythm to it, with just enough repetition to feel slightly song-like, and the conclusion will give young readers and listeners the satisfaction of seeing the trickster tricked. Little Goose's stratagem reminded me a bit of the Aesopic fable of The Fox, The Moon, and the River, in which the vulpine character imagines the moon's reflection in a river is a cheese, causing her to attempt to drink the river dry in order to get to it. It's much more common in folklore however, to have the fox trick another (usually a wolf) into believing that the moon's reflection is a cheese, and there is an episode to that effect in the French Reynardian tradition. Recommended to any picture-book readers who enjoy folkloric-feeling tales, and to fans of Barbara Cooney's artwork. ( )
