Product Description
Imagine a night when you can ride your bike right up the stairs to your bed. Imagine a night when your toy train rumbles on its tracks out of your room and roars back in, full sized, ready for you to hop on for a nighttime adventure. Imagine a night when a farmer plays a lullaby on his fiddle, and his field of sunflowers begins to dip and sway to the rhythm. Imagine a night when ordinary objects magically become extraordinary...a night when it is possible to believe the impossible.With the intrigue of an Escher drawing and the richness of a Chris Van Allsburg painting, renowned Canadian artist Rob Gonsalves depicts that delicious time between sleep and wakefulness, creating a breathtaking, visual exploration of imagination and possibility that will encourage both children and adults to think past the boundaries of everyday life, and see the possibilities beyond.

 Great bedtime book March 25, 2008
This is a great book, but ...
If I were looking at this book with a child, I probably would not read the text. Mostly, the text makes the image more limited and precise and inhibits the imagination.
I love Gonsalves's work, but I have one quibble about that, too: the violin in the picture "Listening Fields" is being played backwards, with the bow in the left hand. I know that this probably fits better in the composition, but it is just plain wrong, and if I were looking at this book with a child, it would be hard for me not to mention it. It's like having a picture of a car where the driver sits in the back seat ...
Amazing! November 12, 2007
"Imagine a night" is woderful. The pictures are incredible and take you to the path of imagination as you never have seen it before. This book is worth every penny!

I bought this as a gift for my adult artist son. The technique used by Rob Gonsolves is exquisite. The words that go with the artists rendition are priceless.

When I was growing up, I remember having a book with beautifully vivid pictures. They were entire scenes that you would have to stop and look at for quite awhile in order to take in the whole scene. This is such a book and the words that go along are so calming and guiding. My daughter loves to gaze at what is happening on every page.
