The little wooden ladders are so cute. It’s like they were made for the wee mice who scurry around our hen house looking for spilt corn. They are bent in different shapes, and some have rungs missing (on purpose! No need to call Kosmos!). The raindrops are lovely chunky wooden tokens too, and it all slots onto a cloud base that looks champion on the table. I am slightly worried that we might play this so much that we end up snapping a ladder or two. But that is surely the sign of an excellent game – wearing out solid components through overuse must be a publisher’s dream! Catch The Moon There are games that you just want to pull out and play with minimal fuss and set up, just to have a good time. Catch the Moon is one of those games. A simple concept with simple execution and a fun hook leads to lots of fun. Climb through the clouds and reach for the moon! All it takes is a few cleverly placed ladders, a steady hand, and a bit of imagination. Reach for the moon, but don’t stretch yourself too thin, or you may lose the ladders under your feet. With the right mix of suspense and risk taking, you will ascend to success. As you may have guessed, Catch the Moon is about climbing up into the night sky to grab that globe of glorious Gouda….haha okay so even I know the moon is not made of cheese. But how cool would that be?! Efrat Haddi is a superb story teller, whether telling something serious or funny. In this humorous book with a delightful monkey as a character, she tells a fun tale based upon the customary habit, a very good habit, of kids using their imagination, sometimes to do something that is possible, and sometimes, as in this funny book, to do the impossible. The story is not only enjoyable, but it will prompt children to think.Women’s roles in society were a controversial thing in the past, women weren’t allowed to act the way they wanted. In the “Story of an Hour” by Kate Chopin, Mrs. Mallard has felt trapped since her marriage but becomes overflowed with joy and the idea of freedom but in the end she dies. In “The Waltz” by Dorothy Parker, the narrator is forced to dance but she doesn’t speak her mind and acts as if everything was fine. Women’s roles in society were very similar but also different, women didn’t have the freedom to speak their mind or had freedom in general which is seen in both the stories.

Catch the Moon Lyrics | Genius Lyrics Stefan Andersson – Catch the Moon Lyrics | Genius Lyrics

The youngster tries a couple of ways. Balloons fly into the air, so it seems to make sense to hold onto a small collection of balloons and fly up to the moon and catch it this way. It doesn't work. Next, the monkey tries to build a ladder to climb up to the moon, with the same result.

Though the stories differ greatly, they are similar in that they both include the use of a train as a symbol and in their focus of the women in the relationships introduced. The trains in both stories are the most significant similarity because they represent the different futures that Jig and Mrs. Mallard could have. While Hemmingway leaves his short story with an open ending regarding Jig’s future, Chopin reveals the outcome of Mrs. Mallard’s future. As happens with most kids, the young monkey does not want to go to sleep. Not being tired, and looking out of the window, the monkey decides to catch the moon. But how can it be done? Open the box and you’ll find a dice, some raindrop tokens, a plethora of wooden ladders and a plastic cloud shaped base. To set-up the game you will put the three ‘normal’ shaped ladders into the base randomly and you are ready. On your turn you roll the dice which will tell you that you must place a new ladder touching exactly one or two ladders or being the highest ladder on the cloud. Make any ladders fall or touch the cloud and you take a raindrop. Three raindrops ends the game and the person with the least raindrops wins.
