●Reflection
This is a wonderful picture book where all the dogs from great works of art in a gallery come out of the paintings one night for their annual evening of chasing, exploring, and partying. When I went to the museum, I was so curious about what would happen in the midnight. I think I find the answer in this book now. After reading this book, I see the same phenomenon nowadays. What I mean is that when something special or strange happens, people will go after in a swarm and get to the bottom of it. Also, one will act with confusion if something changes suddenly. I enjoy in this lovely book with narrator’s introduction and lot of vivid illustrations.
