Synopsis

When the park lamps glow, Anna knows it's time to leave the old stone lion, the pigeons, and the shy goldfish. But later that evening, after her father shuts off her bedroom light, the little girl's imagination takes wing and takes her back to the now-magical park and all her friends there. "With flattened perspectives and variegated tones, Schwartz paints, like Rousseau, a primitive world of friendly beasts and tangled vegetation". -- School Library Journal
