About This Book
The collection presents lyrical children's poems that follow dusk in a small woodland, evoking frogs' banjo-like calls, chirring crickets, hushed birds, wavering bats, and playful rabbits. Short verses combine musical rhythm and sensory detail to render night sounds and movements, then shift to a cautionary note about traps set by humans while affirming a protective natural order. Accompanying woodcut illustrations reinforce the rustic mood and moments of danger and escape, creating a compact, imagistic evocation of nocturnal life and childhood wonder.
