Little Night

Bibliographic Info: Morales, Y. (2007). Little Night. Illus. Yuyi Morales. New York, New York: Roaring Brook Press. (English version)

Annotation: A great bedtime story for children everywhere. Little night is not ready for bed and leads Mother Sky on an adventure to find her.

Genre: Picturebook/Children's fiction

Grade Level: Pk-2

Readers who will like this book: Young children with an appetite for visual stimulation and a love for adventure.

Personal Response: I instantly fell in love with this beautifully illustrated book. The deep colors pull you in and give you a peaceful, serene feeling while reading. The story is so adorable and as a mom, I can relate to the bedtime "playfulness" shown by little night. I love this book and would rate it a 4 for illustration alone.

A question you would ask before reading: How many of you have ever tried to play a game to get out of "bedtime"? Did it work?
