Moon Bear tells the story of Ettie, a little girl who is afraid of the dark. With the help if a magical Moon Bear who appears one night while Ettie is afraid, she not only learns that the dark is not scary but also makes a new friend.

The illustrations in this book are absolutely beautiful. As a mother of a toddler who enjoys creating her own stories, I liked that the book had fewer words and was based more around the illustrations. I feel as though this type of book would be incredibly helpful for children who enjoy telling their own stories and struggle with reading the pages. I thought the overall story was beautiful .

Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book!

Absolutely charming book with very few words. The story is easy to follow for little ones looking at the beautiful illustrations. It follows the story of a little girl who is afraid of the dark . A lovely, warm story to give your little one confidence at night.

An adorable book i will be showing my niece and nephew. I’ve always loved the moon and bears and the cover and title instantly caught my attention.

Illustrtions tell the story of a little girl who is afraid of the dark. A beam of moonlight has her drawing
pictures with the light when the moon bear appears. As she is afraid of the dark, the moon bear is
afraid of light. The two help each other deal with their fears.
Beautiful illustrations capture the story.

Wonderful drawings, but disappointed that there were not more words, as I was going to read this to my child. I do think it would be enjoyable in board book form for a young child to look at and make up their own story. Beautiful illustrations.

Thank you so much to Quarto/ Frances Lincoln and Netgalley for the ebook to read and review.

Ettie is scared of the nighttime, but as the moonshines in her bedroom she has a line of magic come through that she dances in, then she goes towards the window and creates a moon bear out of stars and magic to play with her, but Moon Bear is scared of the daytime and us gone when she wakes.

This book was so beautiful, being worldless it completely reminded me of books I read in my childhood where you aren’t getting much to say but the illustrations literally tell you the story. I loved it so much, so much thought and creativity went into making this book, being able to tell the story alone with illustrations is no easy feat.

Ettie was so cute, being so scared of night and then finding the magic, the stars and the Moon Bear it made her want to get to bed again so she could play with her friend. I really enjoyed it so much and its shows a magical side of nighttime.

This is such a great book to read with and share with your child, this book is fully of magic and I think children would really enjoy seeing the story unfolding through the illustrations.

This is such a unique children’s book. Beautiful, enchanting illustrations and sweet bedtime story.

My 7 year old loved it! ❤️

Moon bear was the perfect little picture book to look at right before bed. 
A little girl is afraid of the dark until she makes a bear friend from the stars.
My son loved it and the art is beautiful.

This is the most beautiful little book with soft and enchanting illustrations. I loved the minimalist approach to a bedtime story, and would gladly buy this for anybody with a small child afraid of the dark (or adult looking for a cute picture book).

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with this book for free in exchange for my review! All opinions are my own.

Wow what a unique concept for a children’s story book. The perfect bedtime book and a feast for the eyes.

There are practically no words in this book, only enchanting illustrations. I was worried at first that the story would not come across but it is the perfect story for your little one to form their own interpretations.

Will definitely be buying a copy for our house.

This was the sweetest book! I have a special place in my heart for polar bears, so I especially loved this book. The illustrations are gorgeous. Whimsical with muted colors. Just beautiful! I loved that the book had minimal words and the reader can use their imagination. I can’t wait to buy my son a physical copy of this book!

A beautiful, comforting book. Light on words, this story is mainly told through pictures. The illustrations in this book are totally enchanting - they remind me of the illustrations in Raymond Briggs' books in the best way possible - the glitter/light illustrations are particularly magical and the polar bear is adorable.

Many thanks to the author, publisher and Netgalley for providing this ARC in exchange for an unbiased review.

Ettie is afraid of the dark, until one night she sees a sliver of light from the moon shining through the curtain. Ettie dances in the moonlight, connecting the stars to draw a bear, who comes to life to play and explore with Ettie.

Told mostly through images, this beautiful story tells of Ettie and the moon bear helping each other to face their fears. This is such an accessible format for young children, and a beautiful way for them to talk through the story of Ettie becoming brave, and being excited to go to bed the next night.

The illustrations are stunning, perfectly capturing the energy, movement and emotion of Ettie and the moon bear's journey. This is such a wonderful read to share and explore with young children who are learning to face their fears, and anyone who enjoys books such as The Snowman, by Raymond Briggs.

Thank you Quarto Publishing Group and NetGalley for a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed are my own.

Gorgeous, fanciful illustrations bring light and magic to this largely wordless children’s book. Stardust and moonlight become animated into a playful bear at night, providing young Ettie with a bedtime companion. This is an enchanting tale that is both sweet and fleeting.

Such a sweet book! Nearly all picture and wordless, the illustrator, Carolina T. Godina, cannot be praised high enough. The eponymous moon bear is the just the cutest little one and the stardust/moonlight he's made of adds magic sprinkles.
Moon Bear is a quick, magical read. 4,5/5⭐

Thank you, NetGalley and Quarto Publishing plc., for the chance to read a copy in exchange for an honest review! All viewpoints are entirely my own.

What a magical book! There are only 8 words in this book, but that is part of the magic in my opinion. The illustrations are so beautiful and filled with detail. Oftentimes my niece tells me to hush while reading to her, so this book will be perfect for her. I can't wait to gift her this book and see her imagination take over as she creates her own captions.

I received an ARC from Quarto Publishing Group – Frances Lincoln Children's Books via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

What a cute, heartwarming, beautifully illustrated book! I love the idea of the little girl seeing a bear in the constellations and tracing the stars to make an outline. The bear joins her to explore new things. This book is adorable! I also liked the fact the next night, there were other animals in the night sky. A spin off series with other animals coming? Hope so!

Very simple book, very loveable characters and a child excitable to go to bed to see if they can see the bear again. Loved it!

Moon Bear is such a heartwarming story! This book is perfect to read to those who need that extra help with the dark.
I especially enjoy the night time theme, since I'm teaching about the moon and night time with my first graders. Ellie and Moon Bear have such an endearing connection!

I highly recommend this book as a Read Aloud or as a bedtime story.

Thank you Netgalley for this gifted book!

Moon Bear is a gorgeous non word story featuring a young girl afraid of the dark and a bear afraid of the light. It’s a magical journey into the mind of a child. I can see so many uses for engaging kids with the book.
The illustrations are calming and mesmerizing. I enjoyed the panel art and it easily flowed into one activity to another.
Highly recommended for young children to help them with language and creativity by making up their own story.

Absolutely gorgeous picture book. I can't wait to get a copy for my library and I think this will be a wonderful book for reading together with a class and telling the story.
