When Night Comes Calling (25)
When two siblings head outdoors on a nighttime hike, they experience the awe-inspiring wonders that take place in the natural world when most people are sleeping. From the night sky with its glorious celestial displays to the nocturnal insects and animals that only venture out in the dark, there's an abundance of activity going on once the sun goes down and the stars come out. Tree frogs chirp their throaty songs, bats soar after buzzing mosquitoes, and a Luna moth flutters on its angel-like wings. But finally, it's time to head back home to a cozy bed, and dream of the next night's outdoor adventure. Rhyming text and lush artwork bring the wonders of the nocturnal natural world to life. Back matter includes information about the celestial objects and the nocturnal creatures featured throughout the book, as well as an explanation of light pollution and its effects on wildlife.
