Why the sun and the moon live in the sky by Elphinstone Dayrell

This is a story of how the sun and moon came to be in the sky. Sun and Moon were married and they had a friend name River. They wanted River to come over to their house, but River wanted to bring his friends and they did not have room for all of them. So Sun and Moon decided to build a house big enough for all River's friends. They did and so River and his friends came over. There were so many that they pushed Sun and Moon all the way into the sky and so that is where they stayed. This was a cute book. If I read this book in my classroom I would have to make sure that the students are aware of the many misconceptions in the book.
