What child doesn't like going to the carnival? But what about a Midnight Carnival? And what would be at a Midnight Carnival anyway, if you could stay up late?
Willow May does get to go to a Midnight Carnival and it's nothing like the carnivals you might see during the day.
The Midnight Carnival stirs your imagination with colorful illustrations depicting a colorful Mardi Gras wonder of events. Willow May and her dolly Jane enter into a world of wonder as they stumble across some of the performers at this Midnight Carnival. She sees clowns with one eye juggling black rats, a raven as ringmaster, blindfolded swordsmen, and a vampire who walks the tightrope. But the excitement doesn't stop there. Soon skeletons take the stage performing magic tricks and dancing, until one loses his footing and falls. Only to be swept away in a basket.
The fun and thrill of the Midnight Carnival leaves children and adults waiting for the night in this unexpectedly delightful picture book with a surprise twist at the end.

Written for young readers age 4-8, Willow May Goes to the Midnight Carnival is an exuberantly colorful, rhyming picturebook showcasing an extraordinary carnival. Not only does it have clowns, music, and acrobats, there are werewolves and many more exciting surprises! "Up above, / soaring through the air / on an undying breeze, / swings an / acrobatic family / of zombies / on the trapeze." A fun and friendly read-aloud book, not to be missed even if the Halloween season is several months around the corner!
