When the Sky Is like Lace

Reissue (1975, Lippincott)
(2) K-3 Illustrated by Barbara Cooney. This reissue is just as mysterious and pleasing as ever. Three little girls in flowing white nightgowns escape their house and experience the magic of a "bimulous" night when the sky is like lace and "everything is strange-splendid and plum-purple." Otters sing, snails sulk, and the trees dance as Horwitz appeals to all of our senses.
Reviewer: Terri Schmitz | Horn Book Magazine Issue: December, 1975
