                  Night of the Moonjellies
Ages 3-8

In this story from his own childhood, Mark Shasha's luminous and evocative paintings create a world where the ordinary and the magical meet.

The scientific name for the small, colorless creature in this story is Crtenphore, pronounced tee'ne for. Moonjellies are also called comb jellies or sea gooseberries. They usually grow no larger that a child's fist. They are most plentiful in new England in late summer. They are not actually true jellyfish because the don't have stinging cells or tentacles.

Moonjellies are harmless and bioluminescent, meaning they are able to create light, like fireflies, with chemical reactions in their bodies.  They are made up mostly of water.

Mark spends a busy, noisy day helping out at Gram's seaside hot dog stand. After the last customer is served and the grill is scrubbed to a silvery shine, Mark sails off with Gram for a promised surprise - and finds a nighttime sea full of shimmering moonjellies.

"This beautifully illustrated picture book debut evokes the fullness of a New England childhood through descriptions of a single summer day."
