Description A bedtime picture book to be read like a poem and sung like a song "Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are..." Reading Twinkle Twinkle Little Star brings to mind Mozart's Twinkle Twinkle Little Star Variations. The animals' footsteps as they bound across the snowy field, chasing the stars, echo the bright, bouncy melody of the piano, and the simple, song-like text naturally makes you want to sway your head to the rhythm. Twinkle Twinkle Little Star is the perfect picture book for a sleepless winter night—a book to whisper like a poem or hum like a quiet song, in a bed lit by just a single beam of light. A picture book with vivid, paint-like colors and striking graphic animal illustrations Twinkle Twinkle Little Star first catches the eye with its fresh, vivid colors that look as if they were freshly painted. The shifting light from sunset to deep night is rendered as though the world itself were being filled in with paint, magnifying the sense of darkness creeping in, step by step. Against this backdrop, the pure white snow—untouched by any other color—along with the white rabbit, fox, polar bear emerging from the paint, and the sparkling white stars, seem to dot the painted world like little flecks of light. All the animals are white, yet each has its own expression, pose, and story to tell, making it a delight to observe them one by one. The word "Christmas" never appears in Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, but the green tree standing in the snowy field, the stars resting on its branches, and the animals' joyful gathering all evoke the spirit of the season. For the animal friends in this story, the stars seem like a joyful gift from the sky—a celebration meant for everyone.
