Night in the country – Cynthia Rylant, Mary Szilagyi


This is an excellent story of a country experience. Especially it is good book for children who are growing up in city like our library’s little readers. It also can be a great find for parents to read to kids to follow up on a visit to a relative in the country.
The author talks about all interesting things one might hear during a night in the country. It quietly describes a dark country night to your child so gently that it takes away the children’s fear of darkness and the creaking noises of an old country house at night! This book is a loving description of life in the country.
This book has a wonderful meter for reading aloud as a bedtime book. This is an excellent portrait of what life really is like in the country: the blackness, the soft sounds and the swooping owl.
