Four years before Where the Wild Things Are won the Caldecott Medal, Maurice Sendak produced some of his most spectacular artwork for The Moon Jumpers. Printing technology has greatly improved since this enchanting picture book was first released more than fifty years ago, and now, with new color separations, the reproduction of Maurice Sendak's artwork comes closer to his stunning originals than ever before. Sendak's wondrous starry skies and Janice May Udry's evocative text immediately transport us back to cool, moonlit nights and fill us with the universal warmth of childhood. The Moon Jumpers' timeless beauty and inspiration earned it a Caldecott Honor in 1960 and will surely gather a new generation of fans.

太阳落山了，月亮慢慢升起。美好的夏夜，皎洁的月光斑驳洒落。孩子们在柔软的草地上自由自在地奔跑、玩耍，他们感受夏夜月光的温暖和大自然的静谧，随着风的节奏开心地舞蹈，自称为“跳月亮的人”。

直到妈妈走出屋外，呼唤孩子们与月亮道晚安，他们夏夜的探险才暂时告一段落，但相信在梦里，他们的好奇心一定才刚刚开始！

如诗般柔美的文字，充分表现了孩子们自由奔放的雀跃；月夜中温柔的蓝绿色调，黑白、全彩插图交替的独特方式，呈现出孩子们在月光下跳跃、玩耍的陶醉感，营造出迷人的视觉效果和氛围。不禁让人回忆起儿时，夏夜的纯真美好和自由奔放，值得一再细细品味。
