How magical is the pink marshmallow-y night eater? He travels with the moon and eats up the sky before the day comes. The drawings are so very beautiful, painterly and whimsical.
The plot goes something like this: one day the moon tells the night eater that he has been eating too much night and is getting to be rather large; the night eater is upset and refuses to eat any more; the world is covered in darkness and it gets rather cold. The resolution comes when the night eater starts to speak and a little piece of star slips into his mouth, he forgets why he stopped eating and everyone is happy.
