Description
Alors que la nuit tombe par une douce soire?e d'e?te?, les enfants du quartier attendent pre's de leurs fene?tres pour voir un spectacle nocturne exceptionnel, plein de magie.
Sous un ciel immense et infini, la sce?ne est peuple?e par une multitude d'animaux domestiques et sauvages. Des lucioles et grillons, des chats et chiens ainsi que des ratons laveurs, hiboux et mouffettes cohabitent tous dans un de?cor enchanteur et forment un ch?ur harmonieux. A? chaque tour de page se construit un poe?me, comportant des images vives et des rimes inattendues, qui se re?ve?le une ode a? la beaute? de la nature.

As night falls on a soft summer evening, neighborhood children are drawn out of their houses by the sights and sounds of the world after dark. First the fireflies come sparkling past, followed by a host of domestic and wild animals, from cats and dogs to owls and skunks. All the characters, both human and otherwise, have their moment on the nighttime stage, but eventually, the curtain falls, and sleepiness beckons.
A QR code printed in the book gives access to a recording online of the recitation of the poem in French.
