It is sweet and gentle, with soft illustrations and adorable animals. At a round lake in a clearing, the cats show the girls how to turn their flower necklaces into flowerworks! It is a lovely moonlit night indeed. There are animal crackers that come to life, and a band leading a parade. There are booths with unusual food and toys, and Chirri and Charri exchange flowers from their necklaces for funny masks and light up yo-yos. The cats have another surprise in store in the from of flower necklaces, which serve double duty as tickets to a Full Moon Festival deep in the forest. But there is magic in the sodas: Chirri and Chirra have turned into adorable cat girls! Arriving after night has fallen, they find a drink stall manned by two black cats! The cats prepare them full moon sodas, so delicious that they drink one after the other. In this installment, the girls hear flute and drum music coming from the forest. Translated by David Boyd, this sweet little book is an ode to the magic that nighttime can bring.Ĭhirri and Chirra are identical apple cheeked girls who ride their bicycles from one adventure to another. If you are familiar with Japanese picture books, you may know that Chirri and Chirra, In the Night is merely the latest (eighth!) entry in the delightful series from author and illustrator Kaya Doi.
