About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is hesitant about the dark or asks what the animals are doing while they sleep. Night Creatures transforms the scary, unknown shadows of the night into a fascinating, busy workplace for some of the world's most interesting animals. By focusing on the biological necessity of being nocturnal, the book helps shift a child's perspective from fear to curiosity. Using DK Publishing's signature high quality photography and clear, accessible text, this book introduces owls, foxes, and bats in their natural habitats. It is a perfect choice for beginning readers who prefer facts over fiction. It serves as a gentle bridge for children experiencing bedtime anxiety, as it replaces imaginary monsters with real, amazing creatures that are simply waking up as we go to bed.
