Dusk to dawn is a time of enchantment, when animals pace, 'cabbages catch at the moon,' and lullabies urge us to the 'shadowy shore' of sleep. It is a time that extends from twilight and bedtime, through the mysterious events of night to daybreak when we greet the known world again. Here are American and British poems rarely found in children's anthologies - poems by Randall Jarrell, Mary Swenson, Archibald Macleish, Joan Aiken, and Maxine Kumin - poems that will appeal to any age with their images of the beauty of the world at night. The delightful line drawings by Anne Burgess range from the carnival mood of children who 'jog and sway in comic dances' to the quiet of the lake 'where rushes bow to let us through' and 'no one's awake...no one, not even you.'
