THE VERY NOISY NIGHT

the noises in and around his cozy little

Mouse taking all the covers. What’s a
mouse to do? This sweetly reassuring
depiction of an all-too-familiar nighttime
battle will enchant young readers, while
parents will appreciate the witty text and
detailed, expressive art. “A sprightly version
of a familiar bedtime scenario.”

ONE WINTER’S NIGHT
Illustrated by Leo and Diane Dillon
“This artistic, bifurcated representation
of the nativity night relates how Martha,
a lost, pregnant cow, follows a single star
in the sky until she finds a shed where
‘the starlight gleamed down like silver.’
Inside is a bearded man kneeling beside
a radiant woman… The parallel journeys
intersect in the shed, where both Mary
and Martha give birth, ‘two glorious
babies on one winter’s night’…there is
both tenderness and poignancy in this
original and unusual presentation”
