I recently came across an old favorite, and that sparked a theme of 'night' books. I found several that looked good so there may be a few posts! :-) I have loved Bears In the Night, by Stan and Jan Berenstain since it first came out. Follow the cubs as they sneak out of bed for an adventure.

I picked up Polar Bear Night, by Lauren Thompson, pictures by Stephen Savage, because it fit this theme, but it turned into one of those quiet, charming picture books. The soft, simple illustrations and gentle text blend perfectly. So much to like! Stars, crescent moon, the northern lights. It's a book to read over and over.

The Night Worker, by Kate Banks and pictures by Georg Hallensleben is another title that fit this trail. Alex has to go to bed about the time his Dad heads out to work. What does he do all night when most people are asleep? One night Alex gets to go along.

It's part of a series ... it looks like there might be one for every state ...it's Good Night Washington State, by Adam Gamble and Mark Jasper, with illustrations by Cooper Kelly. A nice board book, so good for very young readers. I enjoyed it, but the eastern part of the state got short shrift, only Spokane and apple orchards were mentioned.
