This is a non-fiction book with flaps that take the reader on a night-time journey around the world, including through habitats such as the Arctic tundra and Himalayan mountains. Split pages allow readers to explore each landscape further by seeing which night-time wildlife can be found out in the open and which stays hidden within its shadowy habitat. Though the book focuses mainly on the animals found in different habitats and biomes, there are references to some plants and other organisms too.

Each page features a paragraph that explains more about each habitat and what happens there during the house between dusk and dawn. The choice of language pitches the book to be accessible for a primary class, with just the right amount of new, challenging and subject-specific vocabulary to stretch more confident and independent readers.

The use of flaps in the book adds a real element of fun to each page. When lifted, they reveal the surprise of further illustrations and information. Any young reader interested in animals, habitats and nature would be enthralled in this book and it is one that I would certainly recommend for school libraries and classrooms. This non-fiction book could also be used to support curriculum learning in the subjects of geography and science.
