Peek-a-Boo Moon
Once upon a time…
Peek-a-boo, moon! Are you under the tree? The night is dark and the stars are bright, and someone has gone missing. Where could the moon be? Let's look under the big old tree, where the owls sleep and the leaves whisper. Can you cover your eyes with your hands? Peek-a-boo, moon! Are you under the tree? No, not there.

Peek-a-boo, moon! Are you here with me? Let's look in the cozy window, where the curtains are drawn and the bed is warm. Let's look under the blanket, and behind the door, and inside the toy box with the sleepy bear. Can you lift up your blanket and see? Peek-a-boo, moon! Are you here with me? No, not there either.

Peek-a-boo, moon! Are you behind the cloud? A big, fluffy cloud floats across the sky, as soft as a pillow and as white as milk. Could the moon be hiding behind it? Let's tiptoe closer, very quietly, and we will take a peek. Can you whisper with me? Peek-a-boo, moon! Are you behind the cloud? Shhh. Not so loud.

Not here, not there. Hush, be not loud. The moon is playing hide and seek, and she is very good at hiding. She is not in the garden, and she is not in the pond. She is not in the chimney, or the flowerpot, or the snowy pile of clouds. Where can she be? Let's whisper and wait. Hush, hush, hush. Wait and see.
