    Night Creatures

    Jane Godwin, Christina Booth

    Formats & Editions

    When you're sound asleep, and our world is quiet and dark, all the night creatures are waking - their day is about to start. Shhh! Can you spot one now? On the ground, or in a tree? You might hear a shuffle or scamper. How many can you see? With gentle rhyme and interesting facts, award-winning creators Jane Godwin and Christina Booth explore the world of nocturnal animals, especially those found in Australia.

    In the daytime, when you are awake

    and our world is busy and bright,

    others are sleeping soundly

    before they come out at night.

    Come and explore the worlds of our fascinating nocturnal creatures - bats, bilbies, possums, glow worms, wombats, dugongs and more! A gentle rhyming picture book from acclaimed author Jane Godwin with stunning illustrations by Christina Booth.
