From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 2-- Although Charlene enjoys staying up late whatever the season, her favorite time of year is summer, when her nephew William visits. Then the two night owls share such after-dark activities as eating corn and raspberries, counting fireflies, and blowing soap bubbles. Joining the activities is Charlene's large golden dog, Emmett, a magnificent furry creature that exudes shaggy joy. Kastner's rich luminous colors fill the pages and draw readers to revel in the experiences Charlene, William, and Emmett share. The illustrations meld with the text to enrich the spirit of celebration in the everyday and the love between aunt and nephew that fill the pages. While books such as Jane Yolen's Owl Moon (Philomel, 1987) or Anna Grossnickle Hines' Sky All Around (Clarion, 1989) recount a single nighttime sharing between adult and child, Night Owls rejoices in night's beauty time and again. --Kathy Piehl, Mankato State University, MN

From Publishers Weekly
Readers who worry that they will "miss something wonderful if they go to bed too early" will enjoy Denslow's quiet portrayal of William's visit to his Aunt Charlene's farm. The two night owls share "a night picnic" with a nosy retriever named Emmett, they "blow soap bubbles decorating the night," and when William returns home, Charlene writes him letters: "Oh, William," she writes, "I can hear the first spring peeper at the edge of the berry thicket where we picked raspberries!" The lack of dramatic tension may deter some readers, but Kastner's luminous, scumbled illustrations lend mystery to the understated text. The owl outside Charlene's snow-spattered window, the still deer backlighted by a fiery sunset and the silhouetted figures of Charlene and William running by the light of the moon are indeed "something wonderful." Ages 4-7.
