Nocturnal: Animals After Dark

The incredible world of creatures that come alive when the sun goes down

When dusk falls and most creatures settle down to sleep, an entirely different world awakens. The moonlight illuminates the Earth, plants come to life, animals emerge from their hiding places, and some organisms glow like jewels in the dark. For these remarkable creatures, nightfall signals the start of a new day.

This beautifully illustrated guide invites children to explore the mysteries of the night. From nocturnal hunters to bioluminescent plants, discover the fascinating adaptations that help animals and plants thrive in darkness. Learn how owls hunt silently, why fireflies glow, and which flowers only bloom under moonlight.

Written by Lucas Riera, an award-winning natural history specialist, writer, and teacher.
