By Joyce Sidman; Illustrated by Rick Allen
Newberry Honor Book
This picture book features poems about night and the creatures of the night and, with each poem is an expository piece about the nocturnal creature or other (mushroom and the moon) described in the poem or its artwork. The artwork throughout the book is detailed and its composition helps tell the stories of these nighttime beings. There is a Glossary at the end of the book, which will be very helpful to young readers as they read.
The book is well-illustrated. The colors of the illustrations are muted, helping to create the feeling of nighttime, and they contain a lot of detail and visual interest.
