Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Daytime Nighttime
William Low · 2014
82/100
👍 Worth It
William Low's paintings are the whole story here, and they are genuinely stunning — close-up, lifelike, and warm enough to hold a toddler's attention through multiple readings. The question-and-answer format is perfectly suited to the read-aloud moment, and the day-night structure naturally invites kids to look out the window and notice the world around them. For the youngest readers and their grown-ups, this is a lovely little book that earns every bit of its praise.
