Night Out

(2) K-3 A lonely boy spots an invitation leaning against his pet turtle's terrarium. He bikes across a wooded landscape, meets a giant turtle, and attends a boisterous animal jamboree. As the sun rises, the boy sneaks back and regales his boarding-school roommates with his nocturnal exploits. The spare text is almost unnecessary: atmospheric illustrations tell us much about the power of story to bring people together.
