CIP info As night falls, everyone and everything quiets down. I may be a little hard on Thacher. Being the son of Clemet and Edith Hurd, I think I put more pressure on him than may have been fair. This book is only his second book, and as I noted in the previous post about his book, he comes into his own. The illustrations are not great, but aren’t horrible. The text is simple but doesn’t have the soothing effect of other books on the market. The text has exceptional form. It starts with items at home, then what is going outside the house, then what is going on around the world. It goes back and forth. First something happens at home, and then something will happen outside or far away. This is early on in his books; I look forward to reading through his books and seeing the evolution of his skills.
