Goodnight Loon

Goodnight Loon

<DIV>A charming retelling of a children’s classic in a distinctly Northwoods voice</DIV><DIV> </DIV><DIV>There’s a loon, of course. And a Duluth pack. And crop art, Tater Tot hotdish, and, inevitably, deer ticks. The familiar green room is set on a pontoon, lit by the moon over a quiet lake. The childhood classic <I>Goodnight Moon </I>is transformed into a must-have for every Minnesota child’s bookshelf.</DIV><DIV> </DIV><DIV>Written and illustrated by two fathers who value good rhymes and the power of simple, evocative illustrations, <I>Goodnight Loon</I> moves the story that so many parents know by heart into Northwoods territory. Author Abe Sauer and illustrator Nathaniel Davauer created this book as a tribute to the cherished favorite written by Margaret Wise Brown. Their faithful homage brings fresh life to a much-loved story.</DIV><DIV> </DIV>The words rhyme, rock, and soothe with the same cadence as the original. Yellow canoes, snowshoes, and a hungry raccoon all make appearances in the room inhabited by a beaver in a sleeping bag and his voyageur companion. Illustrations inspired by the style of <I>Goodnight Moon</I> will give even the youngest child something to search for on every page. It is the perfect bedtime book for babies, children, and parents looking for a story written especially for their Northwoods little ones. And where else will you find walleye eating rhubarb pie?
