Summary: My children love this one.
Comment: Being an earth-based, organic, natural-fiber sort of family, I wasn't sure the the anthropormorphic Mr. Night was going to be popular with my children (ages 7 and 3), but the reading of this book (now memorized by all) has become part of our nightly ritual. My son received a "Mr. Night" doll as a gift and was so taken with him (boys DO need dolls, but that's another subject....)that I ordered the book. I was pleasantly surprised. The story shows a day in Mr. Night's life, and a small boy's loving relationship with him. In a few succinct pages, Mr. Night gently puts all the living beings of the Earth to sleep and prepares the world for its night of rest, then goes off to bed himself. The boy is aware of Mr. Night's doings, and feels a special connection with him that results in his own peaceful nightly slumber. The story clearly illustrates the ongoing cyclical nature of day and night, and makes the reader feel at one with the powerful forces that shape our world. The illustrations are vivid and colorful, and clearly show the change from light to dark to light again. I highly reccommend this book for children of all ages.

Summary: The Brilliant Color of Mr. Night
Comment: Dan Yaccarino has hit a bull's-eye with this imaginative depiction of night, that is, Mr. Night. With bright and bold colors that fill each page, a "day" in the life of Mr. Night is told from a child's perspective. The implied author invites the reader, or audience (this is a good read-aloud), to accompany Mr. Night on his nightly routine of walking the earth, closing the flowers, calming the animals and the sea, keeping the stars, and whispering dreams to a young child. The spare amount of text is barely noticeable as the illustrations, rich in color and texture, vividly portray the gentle actions of Mr. Night.
Yaccarino's characterization of night as a gentle keeper of the earth, and little children, offers young readers a truly unique perspective on what may be for many, an intimidating subject. This wonderful picture book may go a long way toward dispelling childhood fear of darkness and night.
An easy and enthusiastic recommendation.
