![]() ![]() Bold words, sound effects, speech bubbles, and internal thinking add craft techniques throughout the story. Counter to most book for early readers, Carré uses a palette that is muted to reveal daybreak and nighttime signifying to young readers the passage of time. Adding an additional layer to the narrative, the animals’ interactions take on a subplot making the reading engaging and new each time you read it. At a loss for knowing where they came from, Tippy wonders if maybe she didn’t fall asleep, wander through the garden, enter a misty wood, dig a hole deep underground, and come back through a cactus patch leading an animal night parade back to her bedroom each morning. Readers enter Tippy’s bedroom where she looks around to find a pig crawling into her bed, mice dancing on her headboard, a horse peeking in the window, and a host of animals crawling on her floor. Defining herself as an interdisciplinary artist and illustrator, Lille Carré shares her graphic artistry with this book for early readers in Tippy and the Night Parade, welcoming them into the world of words, images, and story through this digitally illustrated comic. “ Tippy! LOOK at your room? What is this MESS?” From this typical parent-child interaction, comes a circular story that invites readers to imagine a girl’s nightly sleepwalking journey that will delight young children and adults alike. ![]()
