Book excerpt: 'OH! The Things You Can See In The Dark!' is a picture book for children ages 3 and up. The premise of the book is to reveal that which can only be seen in the dark or those things made more glorious by the absence of light. While children may often perceive the dark to be ominous, the book shows a magical aspect of the night through the vibrant and lush imagery used. There may be a note of tension in a storm cloud or a rolling sea, but the components of the images are familiar to children and the scene is ultimately quieting, curious and inviting. Showing the dark as a place of discovery offers an opportunity for parents to engage a child about the wonder and beauty of the night.
