Britain’s author-illustrator Ruth Brown has created many wonderful children’s books. I especially delight in One Stormy Night, wherein we follow the mystifying after-dark travels of a white dog.

Imagine,
when you’re half asleep,
those big white clouds
look just like sheep…
A young boy gazes out his bedroom window, sleepily watching puffy white clouds drift by. Soon he is transported to a spring meadow where he sees a slow tortoise and a fast hare, finishing their race “first” and “last.”
Simple text and lovely illustrations contribute to a concept book for preschool that wholeheartedly celebrates the power of imagination.
