In This Night...

Summary: Beautiful book, wonderful story
Review: This book is simply beautiful. The essence of spring is captured in beautiful prose. Illustrations are terrific but the words themselves conjure up such lovely images themselves. So much of "the little things" that often go unnoticed are brought to light here. The ticking of time is so quiet because we don't see what is around us. This book pulls out some of those transitions. So lovely.

Summary: Be Careful in Your Cabin...Guaranteed to Cause Spring Fever!
Review: This book is the age-old story of winter's end and the glad return of spring. It takes place at that one magical turning-point that comes every year when suddenly you notice spring has crept in and claimed the earth again. Most of the action takes place after sundown of the last day of winter. During the quiet night that follows spring unfolds and we are involved in the lovely stirrings of a greening world and her wild creatures. The lyrical text entices our senses to rise and remember spring. We are treated to very, very beautiful illustrations just filled with subtle and exquisite light from sunset to sunrise, to starry full-moon skies and soft lamplit lanes in the park. This book is a jewel and it will either make you long for spring or tide you over until it returns.
