At Nightby Jonathan Bean
published by Farrar, Straus, and Giroux, NY, 2007
Summary: "A sleepless city girl imagines what it would be like to get away from snoring family members and curl up alone with one's thoughts in the cool night air under wide-open skies."
Strengths: The calming pictures and peaceful tone in the easy-to-read text provides readers with a fun read. Readers can relate to not being able to fall asleep. This can provide an insight to life in the city.
Concerns: Older children may find this book not extremely interesting, but I have no concerns if this is read by children for whom it is intended.
Classroom Use/Other Comments: This book would be good for children aged 3-6. Older children can try to read this book on their own, but younger children would enjoy hearing the story.
