Review

"Twilight Chant," by Holly Thompson is a lovely verse/chant like book with illustrations that are beautifully executed and engaging. In "Twilight Chant," twilight is repeatedly referred to as the "low light." During twilight/low light, certain creatures emerge and become visible. Twilight time is defined by the activities of these particular creatures in a lyrical chant which seems to entice and beckon the oncoming night.

This book could well be used at anytime, for any reason, if not for its lovliness alone. However, it is instructinve as well when one is trying to describe, explain and define this short lived piece of our daily cycle.

Overall Book Score: very good
