What left me wanting more: As a very small thing, the text is rather small and jumps around the pages a lot, so it was easy to miss a line or two here and there. As a small thing, seeing a mother be the one that starts off the conversation about employment was also great to see with a small rep that is always important - as well as the father staying home with the child. It also shows the people at work in small action scenes to bring to life what these jobs look like. The images are full page with plenty of color and details to give children a lot to explore as they read each page. It's a great way to teach about something new, and it works well here. The book gives names to the people who are working these jobs, using simple phrasing that will work for young children to bring these jobs to life. What I loved: This is a really engaging way to introduce different kinds of job to children, who might not realize all the things that happen while they are asleep. Their mother drives a bus, but the book discusses many other jobs that are done at night, such as security, cleaning, hospital staff, police officers, and more. The book is told from the perspective of a child whose mother works at night, so when they are getting ready for bed, their mother is having breakfast. ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT is an engaging picture book that celebrates all the people who work through the night to keep everything running.
