This story was a lovely read. The pictures were fascinating, as they were illustrated with mainly dark colors and highlighted with little points of bright yellow lights. There were minimal words to read, but the illustrations dominated the pages with neighborhood scenes at nighttime. I found this story to be a good read before bedtime. The simple text formatted sentences are spread over a couple pages with a simple nursery rhyme sound to it.
I think young children would enjoy this story, because of its outstanding illustrations and unique use of color. I think it would be difficult to use if the goal was to learn about the characters or a theme with depth. All in all, this story was a quick, pleasant read and the illustrations will be memorable for any age level.
