A delightful picture book reminiscent of Good Night Moon. We rated this four hearts. -- Bob Spear, Heartland Review

From the Publisher

Children of all ages will love the brilliantly colored collages and clever narration of this debut book by author and illustrator, Dar Hosta. Using literary techniques such as alliteration and repetition, Hosta delivers an inviting description of the animal world at night. Page after page of colorful illustrations create a child's vision of nature in the genre of Eric Carle and Lois Ehlert. This book is sure to be a favorite that you and your family come back to again and again.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Read!, May 20, 2003

This review is from: I Love The Night (Hardcover)

I read this book to my two children, ages 7 and 5. We all very much enjoyed it. I may have enjoyed it more then they did! Some childrens books are so much alike you get tired of the same old story told different ways. Sometimes, as a parent, you get tired of reading the same book over and over - EXCEPT for the classics. This book is sure to be a classic. The illustrations are BEAUTIFUL and unlike anything I've ever seen. I highly recommend it - if you have children or not!

This review is from: I Love The Night (Hardcover)

I was absolutely entranced by I LOVE THE NIGHT, relishing the cadence & humor of the stories of who comes out in the moonlight.

Ranging from tree tops to sea floor, the creatures of the night come out to play in wonderful full page pictures.

A veritable treasure of a book & perfect for dreamtime.

5.0 out of 5 stars First Grade Teacher, May 21, 2003

This review is from: I Love The Night (Hardcover)

"I Love the Night" will capture you with its beautifully collaged illustrations and its well written story about nocturnal animals. I love to use this book as a teaching tool in my classroom because of the colorful explanations of the animals' activities at night. I also enjoyed the "magically magical" literary style! I highly recommend this story if you are a teacher, animal lover, or if you are nocturnal yourself! A great read! Thanks, Dar!
