About This Book
Reach for this book when your child expresses curiosity about the nighttime or develops a common fear of the dark. It serves as a calming bridge for children who might find the night mysterious or slightly intimidating, re-framing the darkness as a beautiful, active workspace rather than a place of shadows. Through the eyes of a hungry fox, the story turns the city after sunset into a living science laboratory. While the narrative follows a simple hunting journey, its true focus is the science of light and dark. Young readers will learn about reflections, shadows, and the different sources of light, from the natural glow of the moon to the artificial buzz of streetlamps. It is an ideal choice for parents looking to introduce STEM concepts in a way that feels organic and cozy, making it a perfect transition from daytime play to a peaceful bedtime routine.

Sensitive Topics
The book is entirely secular and scientific in its approach. While the fox is hunting for food, the act of catching prey is handled with extreme gentleness, focusing on the search rather than the kill. There is no graphic content or distress.
