This Newbery Honor book is a collection of twelve beautifully crafted poems about what occurs during the nighttime. Each poem has a unique style and uses various approaches to convey the beauty of nighttime. Rick Allen's illustrations are created with a unique process of relief printing. The illustrations were actually printed in layers using sheets of linoleum and then hand colored with gouache. The results are stunning. A glossary and facts about each poem are included for those readers who are eager to learn the science behind poetry.
