Flashlight
Lizi Boyd

In this wordless book, explore a midnight forest by flashlight. A grey-outlined boy emerges from a tent to be your guide, each cone of light revealing wonders like ferns, owls, bats, or ponds with fish and beavers. As the moon travels the night sky, a porcupine climbs a tree and the rufous coat of a fox lights up. What’s that? A deer watching you, while mice make off with some nibbled apples. Readers can peer closely at the unlighted parts of the pages and even look through die-cut holes at a moth, a blossom, or little bugs. Suddenly, the boy trips and animals take over the flashlight, illuminating parts of its owner, showing his yellow boots, tan shirt, and blue jeans. It’s a forest full of enchanting details that adults will love as much as kids. Turn to the final endpapers, black with one glowing red newt--then enjoy this magical forest again and again!
