Goodnight, Planet by Liniers

Cover image for Good night, PlanetA favorite stuffed bunny accompanies its little mistress throughout the day, but at night it sneaks away to go in search of the moon with its friends, a dog and a mouse.  This is a nearly wordless picture book/graphic novel. As I have come to know graphic novels more this year, I have realized that there are graphic style books at all reading levels.  This one is appropriate for preschoolers, and the illustrations are lovely.  They are way above what people think of when they picture a comic book.  Still, it has the comic book format, with boxes and word bubbles.  It is an interesting time to be in tune with children's literature.  Authors and illustrators are blurring the boundaries of format and genre.  (32 p. 2017)
