A gorgeous book (don't forget to look under the book jacket to see the case cover). A sweet, quiet, everyday homage to neighborhoods. Loved the walk through this boy's neighborhood as he walks his dog at dusk. And can I mention how much I loved the full bookshelves in his house?!

This is a perfect bedtime story. Nice, quiet happenings, peaceful pictures. The art reminds me of the children's books I read as a child in the 70s.

I enjoyed this book when it first released, and read it for storytime today. The theme was "homes," and this book is a nice, unconventional approach to the theme that shows a child walking through his neighborhood at night and pondering the lives he seems glimpses of through lighted windows. The autumnal illustrations are warm and dusky, and the ending is very cozy. There isn't much story to this one, but it makes up for that in thoughtfulness and atmosphere.

Gorgeous illustrations in this book about - well - windows! Loved it.

December 2017 - amazing illustrations, and so fun to see what's happening inside each window. Ben was really into it, and we spent some time flipping back and forth between the endpapers to see what had changed.

A warm fuzzy book about all the things you see in windows in the evening. Would make a good read aloud for a city or nighttime theme.

When a young boy wearing a red hoodie takes his dog for a walk in the early evening through his neighborhood, he just might make you think of an older Peter for The Snowy Day. Certainly, the streets that he walks through are reminiscent of some of the neighborhoods around Prospect Park, Brooklyn, with private homes, apartment buildings and and a couple mom and pop stores. And when he looks at the different lighted windows he passes by, the young boy observes people, a cat, and even a raccoon behind trash cans, doing all their ordinary activities, but now seen through his eyes in a different light. Every window reveals its own story in all their truths and the illustrations, done in ink, watercolor, letterpress, and digital collage, capture those moments at dusk when the world sits in a twilight balance between day and night perfectly. It's all topped off by the warm light of the boy’s own home and his mother’s welcoming wave. This is a book kids will return to over and over again as they relate their own neighborhoods to the one.
