Tomie DePaola has always been one of my favorite authors and I greatly enjoyed reading Fight the Night. The book is only printed in black, white, purple, and blue because that is all the publisher allowed. Instead of being discouraged by this, DePaola used this to his advantage and allowed it to add to his story. The dark colors add to the eerie elements of the story as the main character is dreaming. This could be used to show students how authors are able to be creative while still working within the outlines or requriements given to them. ( )
