Customer Reviews

Amazed and Happy

I had never ordered a used book before and didn't know what to expect. I needed the book for a lesson that I wanted to teach. I got online and used the one touch ordering on a whim. (I really wasn't sure if I had even ordered.) When the book arrived, I was amazed at the quality of the book that I received and at how quickly I got it. I know not all used books will be of this high quality but I will be willing to try it again!!

A beautiful book!

As night falls, animals of the north gradually appear to search for food. This book is beautifully illustrated and was another favorite of my children. Done in the hues of a bluish dusk/early evening.

Twightlight

Daniel San Souci carries a soft tonal effect from daylight to dawn. The book is created on a pale blue stock. An environment pervades, which allows the reader to feel as if they are watching a live cast of characters from behind a tree on a cold winter's night.

THE BEAUTY AND QUIETUDE OF THE NIGHT

It is nighttime, and one by one the animals come out to enjoy the tranquil beauty of a winter night and search for a tasty meal. The realistic and beautiful illustrations and gentle text draw the reader/listener into the story. I have used this book in Pre-school Storytime programs. The children sit in hushed silence, not moving and sigh gently at the conclusion of the story. They love it!
