Creatures of the Night
While many people know that bats and owls are nighttime animals, the fact that scorpions and skunks become busy as night falls is less well known. In fact, many of Earth’s most fascinating animals are active during the night and twilight hours. This great series introduces some of North America’s most common nocturnal and crepuscular (active at twilight) animals. Beautiful full-page color photographs and a wealth of information are sure to capture the imaginations of young readers.

Collection Review: Creatures of the NightGonzales features animals that readers might be familiar with but rarely get a chance to see. Basic details are complemented by eclectic trivia, such as the fact that bats sleep hanging upside down and that only male crickets chirp. Each volume concludes with a defense of the animal (for they are not all lovable) and why it is vital to humans. The layout is attractive, with easy-to-read text and eye-catching photographyKara Schaff Dean, Walpole Public Library, MA, School Library JournalRL
