Bedtime story lovers, the magic of the night awaits you...

Children’s Book of the Month Selection, 2004 Teachers Choice Award, 2004 Borders Original Voices Selection.

High above the ground, in the heart of a beautiful and swampy rain forest, a small green frog with big red eyes is rousing from his daytime slumber, in the cradle of a leaf.

"I love the night," croaks the tiny tree frog. "It is so fabulously fabulous for calling to my companions and for creeping across the canopy."

Conceived as a bedtime story based on the author's own love for nighttime imagery and folklore, I Love The Night is the perfect bedtime companion for young children, particularly those who feel a little apprehensive about the night. Hosta's gentle writing style and soothing collage illustrations will make this a picture book that you and your family will come back to again and again.

I Love The Night is a delightful and original children’s picture book remarkably enhanced with unique, paper collage creations... especially recommended for children ages 3 to 8.
