Blurb for The Night World: One night, a little boy is awoken by his cat, Sylvie. Everyone in the house is sleeping, but outside, the Night World is wide awake! Beginning with a beautiful black-and-white palette, the shadows of the Night World come to life: lilies, sunflowers, rabbits, deer, and owls are all revealed as Sylvie and the boy explore the world outside his door. But the animals all know something new is coming--what could it be? Finally, in an explosion of colour, the dawn arrives.
I found The Night World by Mordicaai Gerstein on my recent library visit. It reminded me of The Night Garden by Elise Hurst and then I thought about The Night Walk by Marie Dorléans and If you were Night by Mượn Thị Văn illustrated by Kelly Pousette.
Blurb: When the sun sets and the moon rises, Sally and her cat, Strange, tiptoe out into The Night Garden. Transformed from neat hedges and flower beds into twisted shapes and creatures, the garden is now alive with magic and adventure.
You could also look for Felix and Alexander which is sadly long out of print but should still be in many school libraries. This is a brilliant book and it contains a night time adventure as Felix searches for his good friend Alexander.
Here are a few other books on this topic that I have added to my to read list:
