We can also use this story to bring attention to the fact that no every one perceives things in the same way. Teachers can utilize this book to encourage children to think outside the box. The title, Many Moons, is implicit in the story as that, many different people view the moon differently and there is no right or wrong. This book is fiction fantasy that addresses topics such as point of view, perspective, wisdom, philosophy, and free thinking. The princess becomes better from being more so sick at heart. He also gathers that the princess believes the moon grows back, like teeth and flowers, even though it is around her neck. So, he has a little golden charm on a necklace made for the princess. The jester reports back to the king that Lenore says the moon is, "just a little smaller than my thumbnail," and "gold, of course, silly", baffling her elders. Everyone else just considers it impossible. After consulting with his wise men, the only one to figure out that maybe he should directly ask the princess what she is really looking for when she says "the moon", is the jester. Can the king, who has everything he has ever wanted, satisfy his princess' request? The book builds up the challenge he is faced with. The only thing that perhaps can make her better is if she were to have the moon. The king is faced with a conflict when he discovers that his daughter, Lenore, the princess, has become ill from eating too many tarts.
His work looks effortlessly done, beautifully compliments the text, and draws attention to the eye. Slobodkin mainly uses the primary colors washed on to a white background. His art consists of watercolor commenced with ink to create simplistic, yet definitive masterpieces. Many Moons won the Caldecott award in 1944 for its beautiful illustrations by Louis Slobodkin.
