The Lights the Dance in the Night by Yuval Zommer

 2022      

  

The text is mainly about stars with a nod to the Northern Lights which are faintly illustrated here.

As we progress through the text we meet many arctic animals and then the people who live in this northern land.

There is a mixture of double spreads, single spreads and pages containing several pictures.  

As with picture books for younger readers, the pictures tell more of the story. In fact, much more of the story is told in the pictures than in the text. The pictures are particularly colourful and full of action.

The story is told in gentle rhyming phrases though some lines don’t rhyme at all. The text is integrated into the pictures.

The text uses a simple font and has simple 'a's and 'g's.

This is quite a large format book so a nursery teacher may also be able to share with a class.
