The Midnight Man

The Midnight Man was by far my most favorite book to read to my children at bedtime, now I read it to my grandchildren. I have bought and given this book as a baby shower gift so many times and I buy a copy of it every chance I get so I always have one on hand for a gift. I love, love, love this book!

Dreamy Bedtime Story

This is a beautifully illustrated bedtime picture book with a short poetical text. It features the dream travels of a boy and his dog as they follow the Midnight Man with his sack of stars. When this mysterious stranger leaves them in his tracks as he continues on his starry way to the midnight land the gentle, motherly full moon sees them safely home. The short text is just the right amount of "tuck me in" attention that will make a little one feel snug and safe before going off to sleep and the pictures are shadowy blue, green and peaceful and sprinkled with starlight. Perfect for sweet dreams.
