A beautiful collection of five-minute bedtime stories about the wildlife that comes out at night.

Every night reveals a thousand secrets.

In this charming anthology of children’s stories by Alicia Klepeis, listeners will be guided under the light of the moon to meet the amazing animals that come out when we’re all asleep. In one story a lost wolf pup has to find its way back to its pack, while another looks at a flying fox as it goes for a midnight swim. Kids will be thrilled by the pineapplefish who has a flashlight built into its mouth, and marvel at a dung beetle that navigates by looking at the stars!

Other stories feature American alligators, Fennec foxes, wombats, snowy owls, bushbabies, flying frogs, luna moths and even a rat making its way across a sleeping city.

Each story in Secrets of the Stars is based on the real biology and behavior of these amazing wild animals, and at the end of each tale, listeners will find out more about the science that inspired the story. So as they drift off to sleep, they will know a little bit more about the animals that are waking up and beginning their day.
