About this title

From School Library Journal:

A litany of the ways in which various people, places, and things respond to moonlight forms the soothing rhythm of this bedtime story. The city lights continue at night, nocturnal animals roam, diurnal animals sleep, trucks continue down the roadways, and children listen to their parents' stories. The text itself is balanced and cadent, asserting the natural progression toward sleepiness. While hardly soporific, the activity of voice and story is quiet and persistent. Graham's brushwork on canvas is evocative, befitting the nighttime story. His underwater picture of a fish at night is reminiscent of Robert McCloskey's watery world in Time of Wonder (Viking, 1957). Truly remarkable here is the quality of the moonlight, firelight, incandescent light, and lamplight, all glowing with unique casts of shadows on the double-page landscapes and still lifes. A lovely story extended by comforting, warm pictures. --Ruth K. MacDonald, Purdue University Calumet, Hammond, IN
