An Ethereal Bedtime Story

Nocturne is a quiet night time lullaby that introduces children to all of the creatures that wander about in the velvet dark of night. The text is complimented quite nicely by the calming, ethereal illustrations. My four-year old daughter really enjoyed looking at the pictures of the nocturnal animals and asking me questions about them. The only thing that I would say is negative about the book, is the cost. I went to the library for my copy. $62.00 sounds pretty high for a copy. Maybe it's a typo.
