The librarian at the Midnight Library (evening hours only) might be a little girl in pigtails, but she knows just what each animal in the library needs. She's got an activity room for the noisy band of squirrels, comforting words for a sad wolf, a library card for a slow-reading tortoise, and even a goodnight story for her drowsy owl assistants. Contrasting the cool blues and blacks of nighttime with a deep, warm yellow, The Midnight Library's illustrations are whimsical, inviting, and perfect for bedtime. For another minimally coloured nocturnal tale, pick up The House in the Night by Susan Marie Swanson. Picture books newsletter August 2014
