First, Little Bear hears the story of the Night Guardian, who lives in the woods and makes sure all animals go to bed. But who tells the Night Guardian when it's bedtime? The second story is about the brave girl Zhara who seeks the forest's most delicious blackberries. In the third we meet Bo, the little man with the big overcoat, who finds it hard to sleep. Finally, Little Bear falls asleep, and there in bed beside her are her new storybook friends. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

I was surprised to see on the colophon of Stories of the Night that this delightful little tome was first published in Swedish, as Sagor om Natten. I know that Crowther is Belgian, and the only other title I have read from her, Scritch Scratch Scraww Plop, was originally published in French. Perhaps she is a polyglot? Whatever the case may be, I am glad I happened across this one at the library, as I found it delightful. Mother and Little Bear put me in mind of the similarly named Mother and Little Bear from the classic American early readers, written by Else Holmelund Minarik and illustrated by the immortal Maurice Sendak. The inset stories themselves were quirky and appealing, with a weird sense of charm, while the artwork, in which a bright pink shade predominates, was unexpectedly appealing. There's nothing natural about this color palette, and one might expect it to feel unfitting, in a depiction of the forest, but somehow the whole thing just works. ( )
