Media Reviews

[a] quirky, cozy companion to the Caldecott Honor-winning Snow....It's delightful to see such an outgoing and sociable offering from Shulevitz, as he exuberantly embraces the bright joys of a winter night. --Publishers Weekly, starred review

*Shulevitz elegantly captures the magical quality of twilight as well as the gleaming allure of the bright lights of the big city. --Kirkus Reviews, starred review

The brightly colored lights of the various festivals show that, though dusk may be the end of day, it may also be the beginning of a magical, memorable night. --School Library Journal

This is an experience rather than a plot. --BCCB

Luminous. --The Horn Book
