Night of the Gargoyles
Eve Bunting
David Bennett Books
Fiction, YA Picture Book
****
DESCRIPTION: By daylight, the gargoyles and grotesques of city buildings are silent, but by night they come alive to prowl the city streets...
REVIEW: This is a quick read with wonderful illustrations by David Wiesner that are worth the price of the book all by themselves. I admit that I bought it mainly because of the theme (being a gargoyle lover.)
