The Night Box

(3) PS Illustrated by Ashling Lindsay. A reassuring poem about waning daylight hours and the ascendancy of night, illustrated with a simplicity that homes in on children's wonder. A fox, a cat, and more wait for Max to open the Night Box ("WHOOSH! Day slips inside as Night sweeps out"). "And when Night falls asleep...", Max releases Day into the dawn. The quotidian ritual is expressed pleasingly in this quiet bedtime book.
