The Nighttime Book
Kindergarten-Grade 2 Nighttime is a whole new unfamiliar world to children who are tucked up in their beds by early twilight. In this bright picture book, such youngsters catch a glimpse of the sunless hours as swarms of busy little animal-people scurry about doing all the "nighttime things" children seldom see: searching for nightcrawlers, observing the heavens, waiting at the airport for a night flight, eating in an all-night cafe with the long-distance truckers. Even the people who do go to sleep at night are interesting. Some snore, some sleepwalk, some, like firemen, sleep ready to spring awake and into action at a moment's notice. Cheerful cartoon characters fill every page with colorful activity. Sure to please small daytime people.
