Night is falling…
the red sunset being gently swept away.
A child gazes out of their bedroom window at one blinking star. Black cat sneaks in, smooching, purring, only to be shooed out into the night.
Time for sleep, but the the child has other ideas. The moon, scratchy branches and a ghostly handprint feed their imagination.
Creeping out the window, through the grass and into the dark, a Night Tiger meets a black cat…
A delicious story of imagination as a child slinks into the night and into the skin of a tiger. Night animals greet them as the moon shines down as the child’s night time adventure is portrayed in nightly shades, shadows and stalking through the dark.
Sherryl Clark’s text is poetry through the pages, and Hannah Sommerville’s illustrations share something daring and adventurous that young listeners will love.
