PreSchool-Grade 2 The pairing of Rylant and Szilagyi again results
in a graceful blend of evocative prose and exquisite color-pencil
drawings. Night in the Country explores the sights and sounds of
the country''s nighttime
內容簡介:
There is no night so dark, so black as night in the country. And
while the people dream of daytime things, the nighttime world
awakens. Owls swoop, a rabbit patters, and in the yard an apple
falls -- pump! -- from the tree.
Listen. Go to the window. Across the field a light glows. Who
else is up so late? Who else watches and hears the sights and
sounds of night in the country -- the many stirrings of silence,
the many colors of the dark?
Lyrical text and velvety pictures present a very different kind
of nighttime: a mysterious, moving night that will lull small
children to sleep.
