A LONELY LITTLE boy who is scared of the dark sits in his room alone, with only
light for company, until a little girl named Dark appears and shows him that lig
ht switches don't just switch off the light--they switch on the night. And to sw
itch on the night is to switch on the stars, the moon, the crickets, and the fro
gs. With the Dillons' dreamlike illustrations, "Switch on the Night" is sure to
reassure any child who has felt afraid of the unkown; the story will also impres
s adult readers with its imaginative approach to understanding that which is dif
ferent.
"Bradbury's story of a boy who conquers his fear of the night with the
help of a child named Dark has been newly illustrated with appropriately myster
ious, dramatic artwork, clearly influenced by M. C. Escher's work."--"The Horn B
ook"
"The Dillons' interpretation works well intellectually and aesthetically.
