The Big Moon Page

I pushed my round tummy right against the edge of a thick board book resting open on the living room rug! Hehe, squeee! A sleepy little illustration peeked out under the warm lamp glow, but I wanted to see what came next. I planted both plush paws firmly beneath the stiff cardboard corner and gave a brave, mighty heave—hup, puff! Flap-thud! The heavy page flipped right over, stirring a tiny breeze that tickled my nose. Right there on the glossy paper was a giant smiling crescent moon surrounded by twinkling silver stars! I patted the cool smooth page with both paws, giggling with all my might as my belly gave a proud bounce.
