Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This book was so cute and the illustrations were so amazing. This was a very fun read with the kids and this will be a great book for kids. The beautiful colorful illustrations are just so wonderful.

I found this quite interesting, I mean it talks about the planets which is a plus but I never saw the planets having an emotion and characteristics that makes them feel more human. I also love the pictures they are perfect and I absolutely love the knowledge from each picture. Over all this is a great book to read to your children. I 100% recommend especially if your teaching them about our galaxy. I would say universe but there's a lot more out there we have yet to discover maybe one day.

The Day Moon and Earth Had An Argument by David Duff is a cute Children’s book with a mix of fun and information.
The Moon and Earth have an argument and Moon storms off. The book is cute and I love the way it gives The Earth, The Moon, and the other planets in the Solar System personalities. This is a quick story but a great length to keep little ones both entertained but engaged. It also gives the opportunity to discuss how the Moon and Earth were feeling and use that in regards to a child’s feelings. The book was cute creative and fun.
The illustrations are bright and fun.

My toddler loves this book. he made me read it multiple times. it was super cute and the illustrations were an eye-catcher especially for little people.

Thank you NetGalley for this advanced copy! Read this on solar eclipse day and it’s such a fun read. Great story and also some fun facts about the moon and solar system at the end!

Given that I was reading this right before the solar eclipse, it felt very fitting to read about an argument between the moon and the earth. The story is a neat concept and the artwork is very simple but effective. I enjoyed how each planet was presented with some quick facts - nothing too overwhelming - and that those facts were what pushed Moon to keep exploring the solar system to find their new home.

The one thing that I found was missing was a glimpse into what it was like for Earth while Moon was off finding a new friend. I'm sure that there were things that would have made Earth regret the fight too and to be willing to take Moon back when he came around.

All in all, this would be a fun bedtime read that could be used to explore the solar system and how all of the planets work together in their very specific ways to keep things turning the way they need to.

I am unsure if this book is truly intended for children, or if it's just a more adult book with juvenile drawings. I say this right off the bat because there were about 2 noticeable moments that I knew would go right over kids' heads. The whole premise of the story is a bit too advanced for kids, as well. For context, the premise is a couple, Moon and Earth, have an argument. Moon leaves to go find another partner, but doesn't find any planet quite as perfect as Earth, and they get back together again.
Now, these notes do not mean that I didn't enjoy this book. I actually really liked it! I thought that the details and colors of the drawings were interesting, and there were some parts that made me chuckle. I also thought that the idea was cleanly executed, and the plot was easy to comprehend.
In a nutshell, I personally had a great time reading this book, I am just unsure about the age group for which it is intended.

This book is great for children who are wanting to learn more about space but in a fun/subtle way. We are a homeschool family and just finished our unit about the planets so it was great timing to read it to my kids. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has children that are interested in space.

This was a super cute and informative book! I loved the illustrations throughout and appreciated that it was educational while still telling a story. The spreads at the end were particularly interesting - I actually learned a few things as an adult that I didn't know. This would be a great book for kids.

Thanks to NetGalley for this advanced digital copy. The Day Moon and Earth Had an Argument will release September 10th, 2024.

What a cute book! And very appropriate after this week’s solar eclipses, while my kiddo is still interested in the moon and solar system. Not only is this book fun and colorful but also provides a lot of information. My kiddo really enjoyed it!

My son loves the solar system and this book was perfect for him. I thought this book was so cute and informative. It taught a valuable lesson and also taught about the solar system. My son and I loved this book.

This was a great book! Thank you to NetGalley and Chronicle Books for granting me access to this ebook.

It was a cute story and packed full of interesting information about the various planets in our solar system. The illustrations were colorful and went well with the text. This would be a great book to read to students who are learning about the solar system!

I found this interesting and so cute! It talks about the planets and gives them emotions and human characteristics to help you connect with them. The pictures are so cute, I love all of the planets. This is definitely a book you should check out to read to your children, especially if they show interest in space and the galaxy, it’s full of facts that they can learn and feel so smart telling other people about.

Thanks Netgalley!

My first-grade students loved learning about space. They liked that although it had a ton of facts it was told in a funny story form which was novel. They love reading about science so this was a high-interest topic. The illustrations were very beautiful and unique.

Some things they didn't love: the moon being very yellow (they confused it at first with the sun) and aliens in the solar system because that wasn't very realistic. The Earth was missing an atmosphere (clouds).

Thanks to netgalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Having facts listed at the back of the book was a good idea. The personification of the planets, sun, and moons made the story engaging, as did the Moon's travels through the solar system.
There are a few reasons why I would not adopt or recommend this book.
The moon's color. Why is it yellow?
I understand the Earth and Moon having an argument, but in the end, the Moon says to Earth, " No one likes you." I think a more positive message is needed. It was a missed opportunity to highlight the mutual benefits and interdependence between the Earth and the Moon.

Things that really work: the art, the conflict resolution. Things that don't: the Earth and the Moon seem like they are having a very grown up fight for a kids book. There is a tonal mismatch between text and art. But that might just be me reading it as an adult. The art though, that's fantastic. Adorable and approachable.

Wow! As an Early Childhood Educator I am always looking for new literature to help me bring themes to life! This book was a fun way to learn facts about planets and the moon! I loved the colorful and playful illustrations!

My class recently finished our space theme and I would have loved to have read this to them! I think this would have been a favorite!

The premise was a cute way to introduce the concept of the Earth and Moon drifting apart, which is alarming to consider in isolation! Definitely reassuring to find out that it’ll take millenia yet! Learning about why the moon might not be suited to orbit any other planet in the solar system was interesting, and a great way to highlight that even when we have disagreements with loved ones, they may still be our best experience of feeling at home and we can make amends and reconnect, if we choose. It was fun to imagine what each planet might feel or think about where and what they are.

I appreciated the irreverent illustrations, which still conveyed a lot of astronomical information about the celestial bodies in our galaxy. Loved the facts listed at the end for those whose interest will definitely be piqued by this story. Will definitely be sharing with the kiddos in my life.

Thank you Netgalley for this digital ARC.

This is a really cute book about the moon and the sun and is perfect to use in the classroom or read your kids! The book is also very educational and kids can learn a lot about all the different planets in the solar system through the moons adventure.

The Day the Moon and Earth Had an Argument is a cute book that shares some planetary facts an interesting and accessible way for little ones. The illustrations were fun and child appropriate, and the story seems like one that could resonate with kids, though I’m not sure the premise of an unexplained argument that leads to Moon decided to leave Earth is the most compelling. Alas. Appreciated the opportunity to review this ARC - thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley!

The Day Moon and Earth Had an Argument is a cute book about relationships and emotions that is easy for young children to understand. The illustrations are colorful, and the information about the Earth and Moon is really informative for children learning about space. Overall, I liked the book and think it will be great for a space-themed storytime or lesson.

This book was different and interesting. My child likes reading about the moon and space and enjoyed this book with me

A whimsical introduction to the solar system presenting each planet (and Pluto, and the Sun) in this fun adventure where our Moon tries to find a new home after arguing with Earth. They are both stubborn and the Moon leaves only to miss Earth and Home. It is a fun book to talk about space but also to talk about arguing with friends and family, valuing what is lost (friendship or home), and knowing to apologize.
The illustrations are very sweet.
Has at the end a few educational pages. I didn't know the formation about Moon, Earth, and the solar system of the moon. Learned something today.
Thank you, publisher and netgalley, for this e-arc.

I have to admit that I never thought I'd read a book that managed to teach about both emotions and the solar system at the same time, but somehow this book manages it. Earth and Moon have a fight, so Moon goes off to look for new friends. In the process, Moon meets the other planets in the solar system, as well as a few other celestial bodies along the way. Each planet is personified in a way that teaches about its structure and environment. The illustrations are bright and joyful, if unpolished in a way that feels underdeveloped to me but is likely appealing to kids.

Ahh I can’t wait to get my hands on a print version of this because I know I will just love it. This fun story brings to life the characters of “Moon,” “Earth,” and their galactic friends dealing with some relatable friendship issues. A great addition to any children’s collection.

"The Day Moon and Earth Had an Argument" by David Duff is a captivating and thought-provoking book! It teaches valuable lessons through the metaphorical argument between the Moon and Earth. It's always exciting to explore books that offer a fresh and imaginative take on storytelling!

I absolutely loved this book. The illustrations are Vivid and pleasing. I loved the story line and the message that was being shown about forgiveness. I was thrilled to see that Pluto was in the story! My kindergartner was fascinated by the scientific facts that were sprinkled throughout the story. We also had a ton of fun with the information pages in the end that showed facts about the planets and their moons. This is one that I will definitely be bringing into our home collection!

I LOVED the illustrations. The story can be applied to kids friendships, making good social emotional connections. I also liked the facts at the end of the book.

The Day Moon and Earth Had an Argument by David Duff. The book is very informative and interesting about the moon, the earth and the other planets. I will enjoy reading this book to my granddaughter. Children love books about the moon and earth. I also think the illustrations are fantastic.

What an excellent book! My kids loved the illustrations and were laughing out loud as moon went on a quest to find a new home.

Thank you to NetGalley along with the publisher for the eARC! Space lovers- this book is for you! The black pages make it feel as if you are in space with Sun as it travels to different planets to try to become friends with as it has an argument with Earth. Very colorful pictures make it appealing for the reader as well!

This book is not only adorable but so very clever! The illustrations are wonderful and perfectly fitting for a child. I especially loved the facial expressions on all of the planets. I love that Earth and the moon apologize to each other at the and that the Moon founds no one as fitting as Earth. I also loved that there are multiple educational pages in the back with facts surrounding the solar system.

Thank you for the gifted arc!

Such a sweet story about the moon leaving earth after an argument and trying to explore on her own. She realizes that earth is home for her and returns ❤️ learning to apologize and forgive is so important!

This was a super cute story. After Moon had an argument with Earth, Moon travels through the Solar System looking for a new planet. I love that children can learn facts about each planet from this book. I did find the argument a bit forced as a reason for Moon’s travels - the reader doesn’t know why they had an argument.

I had planned on giving this book three stars,, but the ending pushed it to four stars. I love that interesting facts about the Solar System and different planets are shared, and it adds a lot of value to the book.

We love all the space books and this one did not disappoint! I loved the random facts thrown in to make the book fun for kids but also help them learn things about our planets and solar system. The artwork is very fun and colorful as well. My daughter liked finding the moon on the page.

The Day Moon and Earth Had an Argument is an incredibly cute picture book about Moon and Earth disagreeing. Moon then tries to find a new home & goes to talk to each of the planets in turn. I loved the personification of each planet. It was a super cute way to learn some basic astronomy.

Thanks to NetGalley, David Duff, and Chronicle Books for the chance to read and review. My thoughts and opinions are my own.

What a fun and inventive way to learn about our solar system! I really enjoyed this story, and liked that there were fact pages at the end about the earth and moon.

This is a cute book! I am homeschooling my young children and I would like to use this as science! I like the cute story with facts about moon!

I LOVED the art style of this book (Noemi Vola never disappoints), and the concept was really cute. I was cracking up at all of the little jokes throughout which are all too relatable. I can see this being a great book recommendation as a readaloud or supplementary lesson material for school age kids who will better understand the humor. The notes in the back actually taught me information about the moon/solar system that I didn't know! Thank you for the opportunity to read this digital ARC.

Thank you to NetGalley, David Duff, and Chronicle Books @chroniclebooks / Princeton Architectural Press for this e-book in exchange for an honest review.

This was a cute and funny story to explain space with actual facts to kids. My kids, ages 3 & 8, thought it was a fun book and really enjoyed the facts. They thought the illustrations were funny and they reminded me of a retro design. Plus, siblings fight so they could relate to the argument side of it. Overall, this is a really cute story, and you'll have to check it out when it comes out: 09/10/2024!!

I’m a sucker for children's books, even though I don’t have any kids yet. The cover of The Day Moon and Earth Had an Argument immediately caught my eye, and the adorable illustrations inside brought the story to life. I loved how the book not only told a cute and engaging story but also included interesting facts about space at the end, making it both fun and educational. It’s a wonderful read that combines creativity with learning!
