继好饿的毛毛虫成功掳获全球读者的心之后，本书Papa, Please Get The Moon For Me（爸爸，我要月亮）成功将艾瑞卡尔的拼贴色块发挥淋漓尽致。书中将主题月亮采用不同一般图画书的设计效果，让读者再次惊艳！月亮变得好大好大....爸爸摘得到吗?


这是一个爸爸为爱女摘夏天上月亮的故事。有一天Monica被窗外皎洁的月光唤醒，她望着那圆满、银白的月亮，忍不住向爸爸央求：帮我摘下月亮好吗？爸爸真的扛起了一条长长的梯子往高山上走，他将梯子架在山上，再一步步爬向月亮。最后他终于碰到月亮，但是月亮太大了，移动不了。善良的月亮了解爸爸爱女的苦心，于是越变越小，小到爸爸可以带回地上。Monica欢天喜地的和月亮跳舞、玩耍……

真是一位可爱又伟大的爸爸！女儿想要天上的月亮，便不辞辛劳地爬上高空、耐心等待月亮的变化，为女儿摘下月亮，道尽天下痴心父母为孩子甘愿付出的心情。

Eric Carle将这本图画书设计成“折页书”，将文字中蕴含的空间概念，透过绘本的折页变化，让孩子具体感受长度与宽度的延展。孩子从故事情节中，不仅可以学会长短、高矮、大小等量概念与形容词，还能从中观察到月亮阴晴圆缺的自然现象。

这本书适用教孩子观察月亮时的辅助，书中重复使用比较级（bigger , smaller），可用在教导英语比较级使用

From Publishers Weekly
　　Carle, whose The Very Hungry Caterpillar has been extraordinarily successful, scores again with this stunning picture book, drawn in thick, brilliant brushstrokes of blues and greens and reds that dazzle the eye. Monica wants to play with the moon, but can't reach it, so she asks her father to get it for her. Ingeniously designed with several fold-out pages, the books opens out horizontally to show a very long ladder Papa fetches, opens vertically to show him climbing the ladder above a very high mountain, and unfolds into a huge spread of the full moon, where the ladder has led Papa. But the moon is too big for him to carry, so he waits while it grows smaller, until finally it is the right size to bring home to Monica. She jumps and dances and frolics with it, but it keeps shrinking, until one day it's gone. But not for long: a thin sliver soon appears in the sky, growing larger and becoming full once again. A splendid introduction to the monthly lunar cycle, this is also a wondrous work of art that will stand up to countless readings.
