Dark Emperor and Other Poems of the Night
by Joyce Sidman
Dark Emperors & Other Poems of the Night is a wonderfully written book that was written by Joyce Sidman and illustrated by Rick Allen. In this book, Sidman expertly portrays the night life through the use of poetry and a detailed description of the poems throughout the book. She is able to capture the beauty of the many different creatures of the nocturnal world including different animals, plants and the moon.
This book is engaging because it explores something that children are usually fearful of. Many children are afraid of the night and this book is able to capture the beauty of the night animals in a way that many people would not be able to because of the fear of it. Sidman and Allen work cleverly together to create poems and illustrations that portray the night life experience in such a way that it sounds fascinating, not scary. I would highly recommend reading this book to children because it takes the edge off of the fear of the night life.
