Flashlight Alfred A. Knopf, 1998 Awards: A Junior Library Guild selection, 1998 "Both exciting and cozy, words
and pictures show that the child can make the sun shine herself,
even if she still needs Grandpa 'to make sure' that everything
is all right." The big dark night can be scary, especially when you're sleeping in an unfamiliar living room. But if you've got a trusty flashlight, there's plenty to keep you busy. When Marie and her little sister, Tibby, spend the night at Grandpa's, Tibby falls asleep right away, but not Marie -- the strange darkness makes it too scary to sleep. Luckily, though, Grandpa has the perfect solution: a flashlight, just for her. With her special night eye, Marie has a lot of things to see and do. There are treasures to be hunted, tunnels to explore, shadows to chase, even bears to tame. Marie becomes the queen of her own nighttime world! But it's nice to know that Grandpa's only a call away, just in case. Betsy James's charming tale and Stacey Schuett's captivating nighttime illustrations will make readers of any age hanker for a flashlight of their own. |
