Last Night by Hyewon Yum

Rating: ★★★★

Genre: Children’s literature

Medium: Hardcover

Synopsis: A young girl is sent to bed without any dinner.  During her dreams though, she’s whisked away into a world of adventure.

Review: I didn’t even think of this book as similar to Where the Wild Things Are until somebody else brought it up.  I think the two are pretty dang different despite the thematic similarities.  Yum’s art is just as incredible as always, and I love the fact that this book is wordless–you can easily feel the intensity through just the art itself.  I mean, truly: look at that side-eye in the cover artwork!  Overall, it’s a fun, fantastic story that’s perfect for a pre-bedtime ritual.
