Henry's Night

(3) K-3 Illustrated by D. B. Johnson. In Johnson's fifth Henry Bear book, the Henry David Thoreau stand-in writes about his nighttime quest to find the whippoorwill ("Are you the one who sings / the song of night?"). The Walden-inspired text is poetic; fans of Henry's more concrete previous adventures may find it somewhat opaque. Johnson's signature gauzy mixed-media art takes on a dreamlike appearance.
