(2) K-3 Cat Sylvie wakes her boy in the wee hours. Outside, they encounter animals waiting for something. Gerstein defines characters and objects in scribbly black silhouette (with a few white accents) on mottled dark-gray paper. At last dawn breaks, light and color return, and the nocturnal wildlife retreat. The glory of daybreak, brilliant atop the sooty paper, is both comfortingly reliable and astonishing.
