More books about the night this time. What a wonderful trail this has been. :-)

Take a global (and beyond) night time trip in Good Night, World with words by Willa Perlman and pictures by Carolyn Fisher as a child bids 'bonne nuit' and goes to sleep. Wonderfully rendered.

I have mixed feelings about Once Upon a Northern Night, by Jean E. Pendziwol and pictures by Isabelle Arsenault ... it's a beautiful book with beautiful pictures. It's called a lullaby in the blurb ... all sorts of wonderful things happen ... and yet .... the child is asleep and doesn't see any of it! ;-) (Still, I guess that is the point of a lullaby, isn't it).

Follow a little boy as he investigates the forest with his flashlight in, well, Flashlight, by Lizi Boyd. Clever illustrations show what he sees and doesn't see. Keep an eye on the raccoon!

This. Is. An. Incredible. Book! Read it, look at it, even if you don't have kids. Goodnight World: Animals of the Native Northwest (be sure to include the subtitle as there is another with a similar title (see above)). Yes, it is a board book, but what a board book! All the artwork is by First Nations and Native artists, their names are listed on the back. What a treasure!
