Description
Summary:	"Children and animals come together at a magical late night carnival."-- Take a luminous bedtime journey through the summery dreamworld of a restless baby. On a hot summer night, Mother Moon soothes a little star baby who won't go to sleep. With her magic, she spins a warm, lyrical tale of friendship and fun: a dreamy summer evening set beneath a blanket of twinkling stars as children and forest friends with balloons enjoy a country fair with a carousel and caramel apples before taking a fantastical trolley ride to a marvelous, light-filled destination.
