The Midnight Library

By Kazuno Kohara

When we are fast asleep in bed, the Midnight Library opens its doors to all the night-time animals. Inside the library the little librarian and her three assistant owls help each and every animal to find the perfect book. But with a noisy squirrel band, an upset wolf and a slow-reading tortoise to help, they could all be in for a very busy night . . .

A beautiful, big-hearted book about the joy of reading and the importance of libraries. Stylishly designed and produced, this is the perfect gift for anyone of any age that simply loves books.

So nice reading this book as a story for children. As an adult, this book makes me thinking that is so nice if we have a library opens at night!

The illustration is so cute, the color combination so simple but I think it makes more eye-catching.
