Uptight about the Moon
Gee whiz, take it easy on Tommy the Tank Engine. Bad Moon Rising points out inconsistencies with the moon from a variety of children's books. And I thought I had too much time on my hands.
1. The cover with its full moon lacks continuity with the story, which has a crescent phase. The moon will not dramatically change phases in the course of one evening. 2. A full moon at midnight in December will appear high in the night sky. 3. A very thin waxing crescent moon suggests the sun has recently set. Such a thin sliver would not be in the December sky at midnight.
