"Awash with rich color and the funniest, liveliest details ever, "Edmond, The Moonlit Party" is thoughtful and thought provoking as well as just plain fun ... Each page deepens the story while providing a rich serving of visual pleasure" -- The Book Table "A sweet and satisfying treat, especially for those who are late to the friendship party." ---Luann Toth, School Library Journal, STARRED REVIEW "The French writer Astrid Desbordes adores her quirky characters, and her enthusiasm is contagious." -- LEONARD S. MARCUS, The New York Times "Buy the book for the illustrations and for the concept of living in a tree, which every preschooler will love." -- Kirkus Reviews "Edmond: The Moonlit Party is a children's picturebook about learning to step outside one's house and befriend others. Edmond is a shy, lonely little squirrel who loves to create nut jam. He's too nervous to even think of introducing himself to his neighbors in the tree. But when they throw a party, the gregarious owl smells Edmond's delicious nut jam, which leads him to invite the little squirrel to share in the adventure and company! Charming, stylized artwork enriches this gentle story." -- The Midwest Book Review "With vivid colors and charming humanized animals, Edmond: The Moonlit Party looks like a neon version of a Richard Scarry book. And its heartwarming story is just as delightful. [...] Edmond is an unpretentious tale of friendship and individuality that hearkens back to the endearing golden era of Golden Books." ----Carla Sinclair, WinkBooks
