In the Night Garden

<b>A gentle, collage-illustrated bedtime read about the often mysterious and always beautiful experiences to be found in nighttime spaces.</b><br><br><i>In the night garden fireflies look like fallen stars.</i><br><i>Moonflowers unfurl and release their intoxicating perfume.</i><br><i> </i><br><i>In the night garden you can lie </i><br><i>on the cool grass and look up to the</i><br><i>millions and trillions of stars…</i><br><br>In the night garden, nothing is as it seems and everything is made new. Blinking stars and pale moonlight might reveal a lone cat tiptoeing across a roof, luminous flowers unfurling in the cool air, a mama fox escorting her sleepy cubs home. Listen closely and you might hear the wind blowing through the trees, the murmur of a slow stream, or the gentle song of crickets and bullfrogs, lulling you to sleep.<br><br>Carin Berger is the award-winning author of <i>The Little Yellow Leaf, </i>a <i>New York Times Best Illustrated Book. </i>With soothing words and spectacularly detailed, hand-cut collage artwork, she has fashioned a bedtime book like no other. Curious readers will be rewarded when they look for the mysterious cat that appears on every page!<br><br><b>An ALA Notable Children's Book</b><br><b>A Bank Street Best Children's Book of the Year - Outstanding Merit</b><br><b>A Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection</b>
