PAPA,PLEASE GET THE MOON FOR ME

PAPA,PLEASE GET THE MOON FOR ME

Papa, please get the
moon for me

ERIC CARLE

1

Before Monica went to bed she looked
out of her window and saw the moon.
The moon looked so near.

2

"I wish I could play with the moon,"
thought Monica, and reached for it.

3

But no matter how much she stretched,
she could not touch the moon.

4

"Papa," said Monica to her father,
"Please get the moon for me."

5

Papa got a very long ladder.

8

He carried the very long ladder toward a
very high mountain.

9

Then Papa put the very long ladder on
top of the very high moutain.

10

Up and up and up he climbed.

11

Finally, Papa got to the moon, "My daughter
Monica would like to play with you, but you
are much too big" said Papa.

12

"Every night I get a little smaller," said the

moon. "When I am just the right size you

can take me with you."

13

And, indeed, the moon got smaller and

smaller.

14

And smaller.

15

When the moon was just the right size, Papa

took it.

16

Down and down and down he climbed.

17

"Here," said Papa to Monica, "I have the
moon for you."

18

Monica jumped and danced with the moon.

19

She hugged the moon and threw it into
the air.

20

But the moon kept getting smaller
and smaller and smaller, and finally it
disappeared altogether.

21

22

Then, one night, Monica saw a thin sliver
of the moon reapear.

23

24

Each night the moon grew.....

25

And grew..

26

And grew..
