Customer comments on this selection.
 Beautiful book -- my son and I love it
This is a good before-bedtime book. The illustrations are beautiful and the story is good. It keeps my five-year-old's attention well, and most books do not.
great book
I bought this book b/c it was recommended by the nwf wildlife baby magazine. It was a great buy for us, my 21 month old wants to read it with me over and over again.
 sweet story about nighttime in the country
Rylant talks about all the interesting things one might hear during a night in the country and at the end brings it back around to letting those things hear us during the day. I think this is a perfect book for children aged 2-6. My two year old seemed to like the illustrations and story and I like how the book itself presents the simple and fascinating things you can hear at night if you'll only pay attention.
NIGHT IN THE COUNTRY
THE BOOK ARRIVED IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND IS BEING ABSOLUTELY ENJOYED BY MY GRANDCHILDREN. THE ILLUSTRATIONS ARE LOVELY, AS IS THE STORY
Catches the Mood of Night Time
I love it! This picture book was a recommendation from an Amazon booklist; the description made me curious because we live in the country, too (in Australia).
The whole atmosphere of this book is wonderful - it quietly describes a dark country night to your child so gently that it takes away the childly fear of darkness and the creaking noises of an old country house at night! You can visualise the apple falling from the tree in the orchard, and I loved the mention of the squeaky screendoor from the neighbour's place as well. Except for the racoon (which I change into a wombat when I read it to my son) everything applies so much to anywhere country all over the world.
This book is a loving description of life in the country, and I recommend it for all parents who live on a rural property. I'd suggest from about 3 years of age if your child is worried about darkness or night sounds; but even our 9 months old son already loves the quiet mood of this book which helps him wind down and fall asleep really easy.
