Come feel the cool and shadowed breeze, come smell your way among the trees, come touch rough bark and leathered leaves: Welcome to the night. Welcome to the night, where mice stir and furry moths flutter.Where snails spiral into shells as orb spiders circle in silk.Where the roots of oak trees recover and repair from their time inthe light. Where the porcupette eats delicacies—raspberryleaves!—and coos and sings. Come out to the cool, night wood, and buzz and hoot and howl—butdo beware of the great horned owl—for it’s wild and it’s windy wayout in the woods! This Newbery Honor-winning picture book combines beautifullywritten poetry with facts of the forest and elaborate illustrationsto form a marvelously engaging collection.
