A very attractive early biology book, with a seldom-used concept, of concentrating on nocturnal animals. So we go from the mountain cats that like to hunt at night, to the desert dwellers who can't do anything once the sun is too high in the sky, to the giant turtles hoping for a good hatch when their backs are turned. Of course I couldn't see the glow-in-the-dark effect on my laptop, but the cover and a large pull-out poster of the underwater world are what's going to give off a spooky glimmer if all things work. Mind, I've been reading Wide Eyed Editions books for several years, and the ones I've read in real life never struggle with any different kind of formatting or production, so I don't see why this would. They can drop a clanger with an awkward design, but not here – the artwork is really strong, with a great realistic quality. A strong four stars.

I adore everything about this book. The color scheme, the illustrations, the facts and the fact that the book will glow in the dark.

It was nice to see a book about animals that focused on the nocturnal ones. Not often do we see that time of the night depicted throughout an entire book.

Good introduction for young kids to find out about things that are active during the night. Some animals they might already be familiar with but there are several that even parents might not know about. Very informative yet short enough to keep any kids’ interest. There are a couple of corrections, one just a typographical error at the beginning of the book, the other is to add an arrow to the Saguaro cactus. Wish I could have seen how the book illustrates the nighttime views.
I received an arc from NetGalley in exchange for my volunteer review.

Beautiful artwork and short accessible chunks of text that introduce children to various nocturnal animals in habitats ranging from rainforest and Australian outback to mangrove and coral reef.
This is my first 'glow in the dark' book and I feel the topic couldn't have been more appropriate.
Looking forward to using it in my classroom as well as showing it to my little ones at home.
Thank you to NetGalley and Wide Eyed Editions (Quarto Publishing Group) for the ARC provided in exchange for an honest opinion.

This beautifully illustrated book will allow readers to take a look at the animals who are most active during the night hours. Various habitats from around the world are explored. Readers are sure to find an animals that they already love as well as new animals to explore.

Thank you to Net Galley and the publisher for providing me this book to read and review.

Love this book of illustrations and information about the nocturnal world of animals from around the world. Perfect pictures and tidbits for kids to understand and remember. Well done.

This attractive book shows animals that hunt and move around at night in various habitats around the world. The text explains why they come out at night and shows them in their surroundings. The animals are labeled and information is provided about them. A map showing these environments would have added to the book. Still, this book will stimulate interest and curiosity about the natural world. Great for browsing and comparing.

This was really beautiful!! The art and scenery are really amazing and the diverse choice was great too! It's a short book that focuses in important information rather than being info dumpy.

What a beautiful book. I love books about animals and this is a lovely new addition to the Non fiction world.
It allows children to see and learn about animals who are more active at dusk, night or dawn. Not only can you learn facts about the animals themselves, this book is set out by habitat and gives you information about the desert, arctic, jungle and other animal homes from around the world.
It could almost act as a hide and seek book as well to see if you can spot some animals wandering around the habitats. I must admit there are some animals that I hadn't heard of and so I really enjoyed seeing what they looked like and learning some facts about them.
I look forward to holding the physical book so I can see the glow in the dark feature and actually use it, but even as an e-proof, it is clear this will be a wonderful addition to any home or school library.

It is with great pleasure that I give a glowing review (5/5) for this beautifully illustrated book with the most helpful text on nocturnal creatures. The artwork glimmers and there’s even a shimmering poster of the deep sea, a happy kind of night light for the bedroom wall of every kid and every kid at heart. City, rain forest, beach, Australian outback, coral reef, and the Savanna are just some of the entrancing habitats included. Offered by one of my fave publishers, Quarto, and highly recommended!
