Oh, dear. NANNIE'S MOON is full (overflowing!) with description, and very low on action. The scenes are sweet and tender, but without a strong plot, the result is plodding.NANNIE'S MOON centers around the activity in a garden, particularly the tomato plants. If you're looking for a tranquil slice-of-life read, then you might enjoy this short story. Otherwise, pass it up. I can't imagine many kids would gladly sit through it; the pacing is just too slow.
