1st Line/s (Actually, 1st three double-page spreads): "Little Owl was having a wonderful night./He watched the funny possum family waddle along in a neat row./By the river, beavers gnawed at trees. turtle hid in her shell as fireflies danced all around."
Illustrations: Dark black sky - paper cuts and paint? - hard to say. I really love 'em...it was the cover illustration that forced me to pick ut up in the first place.
Illustrator: www.pupae.com . This is her first book. She loves nighttime and lives in Austin, Texas.
I was just going o take a quick flip through this book to peek at it, but slowed down to admire the illustrations. Then I went back to read it and discovered some beautiful language. Font is white on black (which I love).
