Reviews
Grade 1-3–Familiar features of nocturnal creatures and their habitats are sketchily explored in colorful paintings and generalized brief text. Full spreads portray nighttime life in the jungle, desert, woodlands, ocean, wetlands, and Australian bush. The realistic illustrations show animals in their natural environments but not all of the species depicted are discussed in the text. For example, in Desert life, nine different creatures are pictured but only the skunk is described (its ability to squirt a jet of smelly liquid from underneath its tail is the only attribute mentioned). In addition, skunks may not be the best choice to represent the desert since they are also commonly found in woodlands and rocky terrain. The word nocturnal is used often and not defined in the glossary. Although the book is attractive, the amount of information does not sufficiently illuminate the subjects to be useful in report writing or to elicit browsers' interest.–Nancy Call, Santa Cruz Public Libraries, Aptos, CA
