Author/Illustrator: Adele Enersen
Publisher: Dial Books, 2015
Ages: 2-5
Themes: bedtime, night, imagination
Opening: One evening, Vincent decided he didn’t want to go to bed.
Summary: (from my library catalog) Having decided he does not want to go to sleep, Vincent unravels the blanket of night and transforms it into a cat, a lullaby, and even an elephant before finally giving in and closing his eyes.
I like this book because: It’s cute! I love babies, books mixing photographs and line, and good use of black and white. The writing itself may not stand out, but the illustrations carry it with ease.
Resources/activities: Use pen or yarn with photos (or magazine snippets) to create your own mixed-media artwork.

I go to the same library and it’s great! They allow patrons to make suggestions on books that they should order and almost all the books that I’ve requested have been ordered.

This was the favorite of the five books I read with a two year old the other night. I requested the library to order this book. 🙂

I’ll have to check this book out. It reminds me of one of my all time favorite picture books, Harold and the Purple Crayon.

I feel like the cover of this book has been popping up everywhere. Now you’ve prompted me to put it on hold so I can read it for myself. The photo-illustrated cover is so unusual!
