Doing a unit on nocturnal animals? You will want to take a look at Night Creatures: Animals That Swoop, Crawl, and Creep While You Sleep<\/em> by Rebecca E. Hirsch and illustrated by Sonia Possentini\u00a0 (Millbrook Press ).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The book starts in a soft, lyrical settling-down-to-bedtime voice.<\/p>\n

A cool night breeze
\nblows softly on your face
\nAs night creatures wake…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Soon, your heart begins to race as bobcats leap, owls pounce, and rabbits run away.\u00a0 No worries, however, because the quiet descends again as night turns into day.<\/p>\n

Young readers will enjoy Sonia Possentini’s marvelous illustrations. They use a pallet of blues, greens and black tree silhouettes to reflect nighttime, but also capture the warm hues of a bobcat’s coat or an owl’s feathers.<\/p>\n

Night Creatures<\/em> is a celebration of animals that are active when many people are sleeping. Slip into a copy and discover what you have been missing.<\/p>\n
