With whimsical illustrations and a catchy rhyming scheme, this is a perfect storybook for children and their parents. It's the story of how the trees and plants came into a town, bringing along woodland creatures, and beautified the once dreary concrete city.

Beautiful illustrations! A few of the rhymes are a bit forced but overall the text flows well and the message is lovely.

What a great book for educators to use to teach many lessons. The fact that the book is written in rhyme is sure to capture (and hold!) the attention of children. When reread again and again there are many meaningful lessons to be discovered! Would recommend educators check out The Night the Forest Came to Town!

A sweet, simple rhyming book with beautiful illustrations children (and me!) will love, especially if they love nature.
I received a copy from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

It wasn't my favorite. The rhymes were a little clunky.

An ecological fairy tale about the ripple effects of just one seed sprouting on a pavement crack.

I loved this little picture book. One night, nature comes to the dull, drab town. It blows in and scampers in and flies in. The illustrations are whimsical, detailed, and perfect for the story. The plants and animals are bright and colorful where the concrete and buildings are gray and boring. The rhyming text is cute and I think this would make a wonderful read aloud.
The joy the plants and flowers and animals bring to the city-dwellers is obvious. It's a good reminder for all of us to include a bit of nature in our days and in our towns

The Night the Forest Came to Town was a simple, calming book. I thoroughly enjoyed the rhymes and it was a smooth read. The pictures were nice, but not exceptional. It would be a good book for bedtime. Overall, the book was good, the rhyming being the high point.
I received a free digital copy of this book from Netgalley for an honest review.

As someone in a city without a lot of grass, I found this story a fun little adventure. I wish a forest would creep into my town at night!

The color choices and illustrations of this were absolutely stunning and the storyline is tempting. However, I'm left with one huge question, what happens when the city wakes up in the morning and finds the forest has moved in? It left me wanting
