Hildilid's Night

This is a good one from our collection of books illustrated by Arnold Lobel.  (Who am I kidding?  All of his books are good ones!). 

Hildilid's Night
Cheli Duran Ryan
illustrated by Arnold Lobel 1996

Hildilid hates the night and tries to get rid of it in a variety of ways- sweeping it, stuffing it in a sack, tying it up, feeding it to her dog, drowning it, shearing it, boiling it, even spanking it (which cracked us up!).  Finally she realizes that she must simply ignore it as it ignored her.
