The Best Book Of Nighttime Animals

Something’s out there in the dark! First Possum hears it. Then Skunk. Then Wolf comes running. “What could it possibly be?” asks Bat. “Night Animals!” the animals declare. “But you are night animals,” Bat informs this not-so-smart crew. Children will love the oh-so-funny animals in this twist on a cozy bedtime book.

An introduction to animals that are active at night.

Profiles fifteen nocturnal animals, including the gray wolf, spotted hyena, and kakapo, and includes a sound board that plays the calls of each.

This collection of twenty-two poems explores the fascinating lives of North American nocturnal animals. When the sun goes down, many animals come out. Crickets chirp their crickety song hoping to attract a mate. Cougars bury their leftovers for later, leaving few clues for others to follow. Armadillos emerge from their dens to dig for worms, leaving holes in the lawns they disturb. This collection of poetry from acclaimed children's author and poet David L. Harrison explores the lives of animals who are awake after dark. Stephanie Laberis's beautifully atmospheric illustrations will draw in readers, and extensive back matter offers more information about each animal.

This beautifully designed picture book will be a delight for adults and children to share and discover together what goes on at night when they're asleep. Each spread explores a different night-time world; as well as the city and woods, we visit a coral reef, the North Pole, a jungle, a busy port, the Australian outback, a factory where robots are making cars and even outer space... This is a delightful and surprising book that will engage young and old alike.

"A glow-in-the dark reference book that helps the reader learn about nocturnal animals. What hides in the deep darkness of the night under the starry sky? What does the light of the moon shine upon? At night, we can see their glowing eyes in the dark. But, what are they? Easy: they are nocturnal animals! The bonus of this book: thanks to a phosphorescent system of glow-in-the-dark images, the reader sees different elements appear such as animals, stars, lights, and other background features."--
