When The Night Didn't Come is a beautiful book with no words. The magical story is told in a form somewhere between a comic strip and a picture book. The plot is at once fantastic and perfectly simple. It all unfolds with a gentle pace that makes it ideal for bedtime reading. However, there being no words, if you so desire, it can become a wide-eyed and thrilling tale, with action and adventure - it's all down to what you read into it.

A picture book with no words isn't necessarily to everyone's tastes. The older the child is, the more they'll get out of it, because they'll be able to put more into it. However, the core story is easy enough to grasp that it can be pitched at any young book fan. The reader has more of a responsibility than usual to let the book shine, but Poly Bernatene has given the reader ever opportunity to meet this responsibility, and the rewards for doing so are wonderful. Highly recommended.
