The Midnight Fair

Gideon Sterer

After people leave a local fair for the night, woodland animals come out of the woods and take it over. Some sell tickets, prepare food, and run games and rides, while others enjoy the lights, games, and attractions. The wordless picture book moves between nighttime mystery and the fair’s lively activity. Before dawn, the animals clean up most of the evidence of their visit as a guard returns.
