When the sun sets, the night comes alive.
When the sun sets and the moon shimmers down, the night comes alive. Bats swoop, hawkmoths flit, owls hunt, and the moonflower unfurls for its one night in the moonlight. In this lyrical yet accurate account of nature at night, you?ll learn how moths drink, how bats ?see,? how bumblebees sleep, how vines climb, and even how to plant your own moonflower.
Husband and wife Peter and Jean Loewer are writers and illustrators who deal with the natural world. The Loewers have collaborated on two other children?s books: Pond Water Zoo and The Inside-Out Stomach.
?The lyrical text describes the nighttime activity surrounding the plant with magical overtones that remain true to nature?s nocturnal cycles. Brief information given in the text is supported by facts in vertical sections on one side of the double-page spreads.?
