Creatures of the Night

by Stephen Brooks
Illustrated by Rodger Wilson



      Stephen Brooks introduces children to field mice, owls, crickets, raccoons and other marvelous creatures who are anything but scary with rhyming verse in this lyrical, upbeat addition to the world of children's literature. What  a great introduction to the animals, birds and insects that children do not normally see because they only come out at night. Reading this story aloud may even help to take away some of the mystery of the darkness and make night-time a pleasant experience.  

The whimsical illustrations by award winning Rodger Wilson show the daytime creatures scuttling for their bedtime homes, and the nocturnal creatures coming out to play and forage for food as daytime turns to night.

This book will be a wonderful addition to your children's library of great bedtime stories, or to read at family time.  It will provide lots of topics for family discussion the kids will love to pursue.
