Dusk

I like anything by this writer/illustrator so I liked this too. It is simply luminous and a nice complement to his book "Snow."

Gorgeous luminous illustrations. 4 year old and 2 year old love the words and pictures. So do I. Thank you.

‘As nature’s lights dim, city lights grow brighter, until it is a light as day.’ The story, sparse as it is (which reflects the sparseness of dusk), exhibits characters that come out at dusk to shop before going home. As the nightlights become brighter, holiday trimmings may be seen in windows and on the streets—Hanukah, Christmas, and Kwanza. A toy store, bookstore and theater (M.Goose Theatre) are the main, if only attractions—because we are seeing this through a child’s eyes. This is a quiet bedtime book, describing wintertime dusk in a cityscape. Children will enjoy looking at the colorful illustrations, especially in anticipation of holiday festivities

This story follows a young child and his grandfather who are out on a walk just as the sun is setting. The city looks like a brand new place as darkness starts to fall. This book did not capture the attention of my girls. There was not much of a story to follow. They did not ask me to read it again. It did not flow well at all for us.

Un racconto incantevole soprattutto nelle immagini
