Good for reading aloud with atmospheric artwork. Bookseller 5 stars. An enchanting read-aloud story, magically illustrated by Tim Vyner. www.bettybookmark.co.uk For the young animal lover, In the Dark of the Night is an enchanting picture book by Paul Stewart with atmospheric illustrations by Tim Vyner. Irish Examiner The landscapes are mystical, while the wolves are represented realistically. This is a rite of passage book but its true significance lies in the animals it chooses to depict. This book seeks to establish wolves as denizens of the natural world, and in that aim achieves a worthwhile success. Ibby Link A visually striking book which appears at a time when there is increasing interest in the relationship between wolves and people. It should appeal to dog-lovers and budding lycanthropists alike. Books for Keeps The atmospheric, painterly illustrations portray the cub's trepidation as well as the animals' joyous abandon as they sing to the Moon. The initial watercolours are dark and shadowy, contrasting nicely with the later images bathed in soft moonlight. This lovely title could be compared to Jill Newsome's 'Night Walk'.

It's A Good Read, Oct 25 2010
By Mundie Moms/Mundie Kids "Katieb" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: In the Dark Of the Night (Hardcover)
When a young wolf cub can't sleep, his papa knows it's time for him to join in the night song. He guides his cub through the woods and up to the rock, where the rest of the wolves meet up to lift their heads and sing their song to the full moon. Wolf pup starts off a little unsure, but at the end of his journey with his father he feels like he belongs, and shares his song with the rest of the wolves. It's a good read with unique water color type illustrations that I enjoyed, though my youngest felt the pictures of the wolves was a little scary.
