Product Details

Praise

“As the pages turn, children will find all sorts of beguiling details. . . .”—Wall Street Journal

★  ”In a series of lively, inventive spreads, Downing (Cubs in the Tub) pays homage to workers who take up their posts as much of a city heads for bed, drawing building cutaways of people preparing to venture out. . . . Warm, engaging artwork plays the dark indigo of night off warm, golden interior light.”—Publishers Weekly, Starred Review

★ “Nifty details are everywhere, and crisscrossing narratives add tons of fun. Wisely, the quiet text lets the pictures tell the stories, allowing viewers to discover the connections on their own. . . . The characters’ diversity nicely reflects the big-city setting. . . .”The Horn Book, Starred Review

“A beautiful introduction to the city at night. “—Booklist

“Will spark curiosity and awe.”—School Library Journal

“Readers will close the book feeling that there’s joy to be found in every job and every schedule. . . . Will make readers fall in love with the city depicted within.”—Kirkus Reviews
