You won't know whether to keep this book on your child's night-table or the livingroom coffee table. So many of the pictures in "Now It Is Morning" are works of art. Candace Whitman is at the top of her form in this, her 7th published book, to date. Her use of color is an unending visual delight for the eye, and each time you turn the page, you and your child will discover new things to admire in the pictures and the accompanying captions. Whitman is as attentive to alliteration and assonance as she is to form, but your child will soon know the simple words by heart and will enjoy repeating them as he or she studies the farm animals, people and city scenes depicted throughout. Whitman's approach to color is reminiscent of Cezanne in some of these lush illustrations--you'll wish you could hang them on your wall. But her palate is so warm and fuzzy, you'll wish you could live inside this book. A great companion piece for Whitman's earlier "The Night is Like an Animal."
Children will love this book about morning.

This is a picture book written and illustrated for young children. In simple text, the author tells about MORNING in the city, in a small town, and on a farm. The illustrations are works of art, collages of torn paper. The fiber edges add a magical softness to each page. The jewel and pastel tones of color are a treat to the eye. The animals are pure enchantment. I loved the cows. This book is sure to inspire questions and discussion. It will help children to better understand the world they live in. Reading this book will bring you the best of mornings.Margaret Whalen Specialist Early Childhood-- Ret.
