About This Book

During the day, the sun shines, birds tweet, and bees buzz. Earth is awake! But what happens at night? The moon -- and a whole new group of animals come out to play! Adult and child readers can cuddle up and read aloud and learn together in this new "you read, I read" co-reader format, vetted by early reading expert Susan B. Neuman.

Our Review

This engaging early reader introduces young children to the fascinating differences between daytime and nighttime, using simple language and vivid National Geographic photography to explore how animals, plants, and people experience these two parts of the day. The co-reader format is thoughtfully designed, with one side of the page featuring text for a parent or caregiver to read, and the other side presenting simpler, larger-print sentences for a beginning reader to tackle, making shared reading an interactive and confidence-building experience.

What truly sets this science book apart is its ability to transform a familiar daily concept into a source of wonder, showcasing stunning images of diurnal and nocturnal animals that will captivate a child's curiosity. This leveled reader is ideal for kindergarteners and first-graders who are just starting their reading journey, as it successfully blends foundational literacy skills with introductory nonfiction concepts about the natural world, leaving young learners with a greater appreciation for the rhythms of their own environment.
