The Midnight Man

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Ian Andrew. In the middle of the night, Harry and his dog hear someone riding by--the midnight man, throwing stars into the sky. They try to join him, but in a hushed voice like "owl cries and fox calls," the midnight man tells them they can't follow. Doherty's lyrical language is elegant and rhythmic, and Andrew's dark colored pencil illustrations glow with starlight.
