4.5 Stars

Deep in the magical forest, the Night Librarian gets ready to spin a tale as critters, bugs, fireflies, bats, beetles, and mice sit down to listen. They are transported to the dreamland and go home sleepy-eyed to continue the dreams.

The book, as such, is nothing more than poetic prose about critters getting ready for a bedtime story. What makes it special are the illustrations. I mean, they are WOW! The full-page illustrations in watercolors are mesmerizing and surreal. The color scheme is perfect. I could look at every page for minutes and still not feel bored in the slightest.

The text has been carefully placed to not disturb the illustrations. But that meant the text size is quite small (especially in the electronic copy). If you want a bedtime book for kiddos with no specific story but fabulous illustrations, grab this one.

I received an ARC from NetGalley and NorthSouth Books and am voluntarily leaving a review.
