Description
Night Out is a beautifully illustrated picture book that tells the story of a young boy at boarding school who receives a mysterious invitation to a 'Night Out.' The invitation leads him on an enchanting adventure where he discovers the magical world of the animal kingdom and the joy of friendship. When a small, friendless boy goes to bed at his boarding school, an adventure is about to begin! First he finds an invitation in his turtle's bowl. Next he makes an escape--out the window, through the woods, across a river, and onto an island. And then he joins a grand celebration, with larger-than-life animals serving tea and dancing late into the night. And finally? After the journey back, he has a fantastic story to tell--the perfect way to make a friend.
