Book Summary: Despite being neglected by the king for a jewel-studded artificial bird, the little nightingale revives the dying ruler with her beautiful song. A retelling set in Northwest Africa.Jerry Pinkney decided to place The Nightingale in a Moroccan setting because of its architecture and culturally diverse people. The images are beautiful and so full that you can spend a lot of time looking at different things on each page. I think a child would be fascinated looking at these pictures while someone older read the text. I love the colors and the small and intricate details. In the same way that I like James Christiansen’s work for the small, precise details, I like this book for the small, soft details. I would enjoy having this picture book in my library.
