If you saw the moon tiptoe past your window, would you nestle under the covers? Or would you step outside to follow it? What if you felt a tail brush your ankle, would you freeze? Or skitter away? And if you saw an owl swoop from a branch, would you hide? Or join the hunt? All the while, the child pictured in the book chooses adventure, and thrillingly experiences a night like no other. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e From the award-winning and acclaimed author Mượn Thị Văn comes a lyrical and evocative exploration of the natural world at night. The poetic language of the text engages all the senses as it gently poses questions that pull readers' imaginations outdoors, where night creatures roam and everything seems different. Kelly Pousette's intricate paper-cut dioramas, intriguingly presented with shadows and darkness falling around them, are packed with charming details for children to investigate. This unique and thought-provoking book is sure to encourage observation and spark curiosity -- and many conversations. A wonderful read-aloud or bedtime story, this book also ties in beautifully with primary lessons about the natural world. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Muon Thi Van\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1525300148\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781525300141\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Kids Can Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 10.30w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/15\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2020 pg. 67\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2020 pg. 114\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/02\/2020","brand":"Muon Thi Van","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44048026566911,"sku":"9781525300141","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8e8a770a-8d07-4ca4-bc9b-5164de2bcc9e.jpg?v=1684993473","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/if-you-were-night-muon-thi-van-9781525300141","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
