Some of the best bedtime picture books written for children are collected together in this superb gift edition. Each story reflects some aspect of the magic of the night--the moon, the stars, the night-time adventures, the mystery--as well as some of the fears. Brought to life with colourful illustrations, this is a wonderful, reassuring collection for reading together at the end of the day. The selection includes the works of Max Velthuijs, Louis Baum, Michael Foreman, Tony Ross, Shirley Hughes and many others, who each manage to banish night-time fears in their own individual ways. --Philippa Reece
