Night-Time Numbers: A Scary Counting Book
Susan L. Roth
eBook
(StarWalk Kids Media, Sept. 14, 2014)
Roth uses a variety of papers and fabrics to make the clever, intricate collages that accompany her text. The repetitive rhyme asks readers, What can you see?... on the rooftops, in the window, and around the house tonight. The reply is I can see one monster in the pale moonlight, two dragons in the pale moonlight, etc. The last spread includes an angel "to keep me safe and sound." Older children will admire the artwork and enjoy identifying the different materials used to make the pictures. They will delight in counting the monsters from 1 to 10 and echoing the rhythmic chant as it is read to them. An unusual book that will fascinate youngsters. - School Library Journal.
