A boy and his mother explore the magical nocturnal world and all its mysterious creatures. After their nighttime stroll, the boy's mother tucks him into bed, with his dog nestled cozily on the rug below. Jane Yolen's poetic lullaby and Anne Hunter's magical illustration harmonize quietly in this tribute to the night. Full color.
