Cheval de nuit is a French‑language board book for young readers, written and illustrated by Isabelle Malmezat. Published in 2003 by Publications de l’Ecole Moderne Française (PEMF), the 16‑page story follows a child’s imagination as a night‑time horse carries them through dreamlike landscapes. The simple text and gentle illustrations invite children to explore the quiet wonder of horses and the soft world of dreams, making it a soothing bedtime read. Designed for little hands, the sturdy board format withstands repeated handling while introducing early concepts of narrative and visual storytelling. The work blends elements of fiction with a focus on animals and nocturnal fantasy, appealing to preschoolers who enjoy calm, picture‑driven tales.
