As darkness falls on the fairgrounds, the animals venture out of the
woods for one magical, memorable night! An exhilarating wordless picture
book.
Far from the city, but not quite the countryside, lies a fairground.
When night comes and the fair is empty, something unexpected happens.
Wild animals emerge from the forest, a brave raccoon pulls a lever, and
the roller coasters and rides explode back into bright, neon life. It's
time for the woodland creatures to head to the fair! In a gorgeous
wordless picture book, author Gideon Sterer and illustrator Mariachiara
Di Giorgio offer an exuberant take on what animals are up to when humans
are asleep. Suffused with color and light, the panel illustrations
celebrate the inherent humor and joy in deer flying by on chair-swings,
a bear winning a stuffed bear, three weasels carrying a soft pretzel,
and a badger driving a bumper car. With thrills both spectacular and
subtle, Midnight Fair will have readers punching their tickets again
and again to revel in this fantastic nocturnal world.
