Book Review - 'The Midnight Library' by Kazuno Kohara

2024 REREAD: A simple and cute fairy tale, all about animals, a midnight library, and its little girl librarian.

Libraries are so important, and magical. Let us never, ever lose them.

Final Score: 4/5





Original Review:



Such a cute picture book about a library that opens from midnight to dawn. Its customers are forest animals (wolves, squirrels and tortoises galore, and three owls are the assistants), and it gets very busy. The librarian is a little girl who's a good role model to children, attending to the animals' needs always. There are simple but lovely illustrations with a black, yellow and blue colour palette. Adorable - a nibble, a must-taste for book lovers of all ages.

Isn't 'The Nocturnal Library' a more suitable title, though?

Final Score: 4/5
