I feel bad saying this, but this one was really disappointing. The illustrations are kind of awful for a children's book and we're difficult to follow. Honestly, for a ninja book I really expected more.

Not a lot of text and great mixed media art work together for a surprise twist.

A ninja is on the prowl... for some late-night ice cream. Too bad he is intercepted by Mom who takes him back to bed!

Beautiful paper-cut illustrations.

It is nighttime. Everyone is asleep. Suddenly, a black figure appears. It is Nighttime Ninja. He is on a secret mission, creeping through the house, in search of….And then, just as suddenly, the lights flash on, and Nighttime Ninja is…caught! Caught by his mother. His cup of hot chocolate is confiscated. Nighttime Ninja is sent back to bed.

Wonderful cut paper illustrations by cut paper master Ed Young. A lovely mysterious story that all little ninjas will love.

Thank you to Little Brown for this review copy.

I loved this book told from the viewpoint of a very imaginative child. The cut paper illustrations are rich with detail. Brilliant concept regarding perspective revealed at the end.
