In the Night Garden

By Barbara Joosse, Illustrated by Elizabeth Sayles (Henry Holt and Company, LLC – 2008)

Three little girls prowl the night garden: One is a bear with sharp white teeth. One is a whale, steady and strong. One is a sled dog, sleek and lean. Join three little girls as they prowl, growl, and let their imagination soar in the night garden. And then, all of them fell in asleep peacefully. It is the perfect bedtime story. >>>Barbara Joosse is also the author of “Mama, Do you love me?“, ” Papa, Do you love me?“, “Grandma calls me Beautiful“.

3人の少女が夜の庭をうろつく:一人は白い歯のするどい熊。一人は大きな強い鯨。一人は毛並みの艶やかなそりの犬。3人の少女がそれぞれの動物になりきって、イマジネーションを膨らませながら夜の庭を吠えたり鳴いたりしながら歩きまわる。そして、皆しずかに眠りに落ちてしまう。正に、ベットで寝る前に読みたい絵本。>>>作者のBarbara Joosseは、”Mama, Do you love me?”, “Papa, Do you love me?” , “Grandma calls me Beautiful” の絵本も書いている。
