Goodreads

If you were night, what would you do? This book asks the reader a series of questions about what might happen if they were the night. The text is poetic and lyrical, and the paper cut illustrations are beautiful. The entire book has a dark feel to it (color-wise, not dark sinister) which plays perfectly with the night theme. The book is gorgeous but the overall concept will be lost on some younger readers. It does allow for fun conversations that invoke imaginative play. Recommended for readers 3 and up.
