Illustrated by
Joung Un Kim.
As night advances, a mother and child observe the various animals--such as moths, bats, and owls--that take wing outside their window: "Whose wings? / Firefly's wings, / Glimmer, glow, and hide." The gently rhymed and repetitive text, along with the bold, lushly colored illustrations printed on sturdy paper, make this an appealing and age-appropriate choice for toddlers at bedtime.
