The moon sees her and worries about her, so decides to pay her a visit. He notices her house is being flooded by the tide. The woman continues to fish and the moon returns again a month later. He learns the woman is fishing for the moon so the tide will stop ruining her house. The next night when she goes fishing she catches bright paint that keeps the moon away. The tide does not creep into her house any longer. Catching the Moon is a crafty story about a bond that one woman had with the moon. The higher level vocabulary, is an excellent challenge for readers. It also uses many "stereotypes" or misconceptions about the moon. For example, the fisher woman uses a mouse in attempt to capture the moon (it made out of cheese). The only set back to this story was the difficulty in finding the overall purpose. The author often introduce information about the tide. On the other hand the author has several moments when the moon visits the fisher women. For this reason, this book may be fit for leisure purposes rather than instructional. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

The next month the moon comes to her house again and he finds out that the reason she does this is so that he will come closer which avoids the water tide to damage her house. He laughs and the moon and the lady become friends and paint her house with moon drops to protect her home.
I found it very interesting how I was surprised when seeing the moon as a man. I never realized before I had stereotyped the moon as something feminine because of the Spanish pronoun for la luna. ( )
