    "A shadow passes over the frog. A little brown bat dips and dives to snatch moths and mosquitoes from the air. By dawn it has eaten one quarter of its weight in insects. The sun rises. The animals retreat to their homes. The day belongs to others."

SYNOPSIS 
  Under the cover of darkness the world comes alive with animals we don't see in the day. Owls use their sense of hearing to catch their prey. Others use the dark to keep from being eaten. While other animals sleep, nocturnal animals fill the night with their activities.

    With text and illustrations that are both lyrical and instructive, Mary Ann Fraser explains how nocturnal animals are specially adapted to live in the dark.

REVIEWS   
"NIGHT ANIMALS features colorful descriptions of familiar nocturnal creatures" and the illustrations are "excellent" and "attractive." The reviewer adds, "any library in need of updating its science collection would do well with [this] title."                 School Library Journal

"This book is beautifully illustrated in full page color realistic illustrations. The text is simple yet interesting. It tells about nocturnal animals and what they do at night. Some of the animals mentioned are the coyote, the raccoon, the tree frog, the skunk, and the opossum. Children will find this book to be informational and fun."  Recommended
