A wonderful early reader book. Big beautiful illustrations on pages with one or few words. What do you see in the daytime? What do you see at night?
This is one of the books we used in an activity in class one day, so I decided to use it for goodreads! It is a concept book that compares daytime and nighttime animals (which I love). I think this is a great book to teach children about the different ways animals live their lives.
From Ali:****From Karen:*****My favourite picture book this spring; one word per page and so evocative of a summer’s day, eve. Super lovely.
A different creature is featured on each page in very large paintings. The minimal text gives the name of the animal, and not much more. But all of them are waiting for the moon.
Themes - Daytime, nighttime, animals. This book answers the question "What do you see in the daytime/nighttime?" The illustrations are large, bold and beautiful with only the name of the animal printed on each page. It would be perfect for very young children.
Gorgeous, colorful, detailed, up-close illustrations of animals. Thick, tear-resistant pages. Simple text. This would be great as a gift for a child who has graduated from board books but is not yet ready for fragile picture book pages. Also perfect for 2-year-old story time.More books like this please!!
Who doesn't like animals--whether they are those who prefer the daylight hours or those who prefer the nighttime? This lovely, color-drenched picture book features grasshoppers, a hawk, owls, and a frog, among other creatures sure to please young readers as they identify them. The detailed illustrations are a delight to behold, and can only encourage young readers to look for their counterparts in the world around them.
Perfect for toddler time!
I think this book is great for distinguishing between what kind of things you see during the day or night. I would probably use it as part of a science lesson to teach about animals and outdoors. I think this would be a good book for younger students. Kids like to talk about what animals they have seen outside so it would be good for discussion.
The gorgeous illustrations and simplicity of text make this a perfect book to share with your little one for Summer. Be prepared for inquisitive children to ask for more information about the featured items, which may lead to a visit to the local library. Reviewer #17
For the littlest ones, this is a sweet book about animals we might see in the daytime (at least in places like Michigan) and ones we'd see at night. Each page-turn leads to huge double-spread art and usually just one word like "robins" or "bats". Big art works for a group share.
This is a fun concept book for young children. I might not use it past kindergarten but it's great for learning what animals or insects are nocturnal and which are not. Beautiful illustrations!
Well, this one was kind of TOO easy, because it was just pictures of animals with their names under them, NOT a story or facts. And plus you know what? They say "What do you see at night?" but you don't SEE a lot of these guys at night, because you know why? It's DARK!!! HA!!!And you know what else? There isn't always the moon at night. Sometimes it's the moon and sometimes it's clouds with the moon behind it, and sometimes it's stars, and sometimes it's NOTHING.But the pictures were good so tha...
Simple text and stunning illustrations for young eyes to feast upon.
This is a nice little book for very young readers. The pictures are nice and large and the words are simple. Overall, this is a nice book introducing what we see during the day and during the night.
Simple text with bold interesting illustrations.
A simple text accompanies gorgeous illustrations about the various things you can see during the daytime and the nighttime. Ideal for storytime with a younger crowd. The paper quality on this book is superb! Heavy with a bit of gloss to it that makes the illustrations really pop.
My 5 year old loves just looking at this book. There's no real story. It just list what creatures you see during the day or night, but the illustrations are vibrant and beautiful.
A simple and lovely introduction to the creatures that children can see around their houses in both day and night. The book starts with daytime and the question “What do you see in the daytime?” The large images throughout show animals like butterflies, rabbits, beavers, and more. In the middle of the book, a new question is posed about the nighttime. Now the animals shown are bats, frogs, fireflies and raccoons. The book ends with the final animal, a teddy bear held by a little girl as she fall...
Age: Infant-ToddlerThis book has the feel of a board book, but with bigger pages suitable for storytime, which shows one thing per page that you might see in the daytime and in the nighttime. Simple and sweet!
