Max at Night
(Libby/OverDrive eBook, Kindle)

Max, the black kitten from 2015's Max the Brave, is back, and he's calling it a night. After realizing that the moon is nowhere in sight, Max heads out into the night, climbing ever higher in an attempt to spot it. It's a long and lonely journey-the trees, rooftops, and hills Max climbs stay silent when he asks, "Have you seen the moon?"-but Vere makes his travels worth it: when the moon does appear from behind some clouds, it nearly fills a full page, glowing with a pale greenish-white light. It's a lovely nighttime excursion that delivers just enough adventure to leave sleepy readers imagining semi-magical quests of their own. Ages 3-6. (Sept.) © Copyright PWxyz, LLC.

Before going to bed, cat Max wants to say good night to the moon...but he can't find it. He treks from his house, through the city, up a moonlit hill, and back--all fronted against the digital illustrations' silhouette-filled settings with varying perspective and palette. Max's enormous eyes and eloquent tail communicate his frustration, then his contentment, in this simple bedtime story. (c) Copyright 2017.
