Author-illustrator Britta Teckentrup’s “Moon: A Peek-Through Picture Book” (Doubleday Books for Young Readers) is an exquisite hardcover, ideal for sending off children — particularly those ages 3 to 7 — to dreamland. This new book has moon-shaped holes cut from its cover and pages to reveal our satellite’s phases. It also lavishly depicts our world’s animals in their varied habitats, bathed in moonlight. Teckentrup’s illustrations harken back to the glory days of vintage Golden Books, with their scampering foxes, deer, and bears. Children — and parents alike — can’t resist the sleep-inducing pull of “Moon.”
