Review
From the author of Tap the Magic Tree (2013) comes a new delightful title,"Shhh....It's night. Time for magic to happen. Touch, pat, blink and whisper to change the night sky!" Not quite a rhyming book but very close, this keeps a child's mind and touch active and engaged.
The background of each illustration is varied in shades of blues that lend a nice continuity and simplicity that encourage the reader to continue this journey of sunset to sunrise.
Birds, insects and deer and other natural objects are sparse throughout this interactive book yet add to the familiarity and simplicity.
Collages were used to prepare the full-color art and the type is large and white, thus easy to read against the varying blue backgrounds.
Great bedtime read for children that they will reach for night after night even after the story has been read to them.
Overall Book Score: very good
