In Kenneth Kraegel’s exquisite picture-book fantasy “Wild Honey From the Moon” (Candlewick, 58 pages, $17.99), the illness of a little shrew fires his mother with such determination that she travels from their snug forest cottage to the surface of the moon to procure the medicine that will cure him. Illustrated with deep, rich colors, the tale of Mother Shrew’s journey will lift readers ages 4-8 up and out, imaginatively speaking, while at the same time comforting them, like a cool hand on a hot forehead.
