BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH 

In the night garden, fireflies look like fallen stars, moonflowers unfurl, stars glimmer and a cat tiptoes across the roof. Animals like bats and foxes move about . There are other sounds like wind moving through the trees. If you close your eyes, you can hear a song. What is the song telling you? 

Carin weaves a soothing tale to put us to sleep with spectacularly detailed graphics and collage artwork. The text is interesting and engaging, but I would purchase this book just for the artwork. It's incredible.
