“Wordless and eloquent, “The Midnight Fair” offers true enchantment for children ages 3 to 8.” – The Wall Street Journal

Far from the city, but not quite in the countryside, lies a fairground. When night falls, and the fair is empty, something unexpected happens: wild animals emerge from the trees. A brave raccoon pulls a lever, and the rides explode back into bright, neon life. Now, it’s time for the woodland creatures to have some fun…

Bears, foxes, deer, hedgehogs and all manner of woodland animals are given their chance to try the fairground rides – the carousel, the rollercoaster, the bumper cars and even the tea cups! – play the arcade games, and indulge in candy floss and popcorn. Can the animals have their fun and still get back to the woods before the sun comes up?

This stunning award-winning wordless picture book is packed with clever secondary narratives to follow and characters to spot on each page – children will spend hours poring over these many hidden details. Perfect for fostering Imagination, developing narrative Skills and promoting visual literacy.
