I Love the Night


Title: I Love The Night
Author: Dar Hosta
Illustrator: Dar Hosta
Publisher: Brown Dog Books http://www.browndogbooksandgifts.com/
Publication Date: 2003
Genre: Picture Book & Science & Nature
Audience: Gr. K-3
Awards: 2004 Teacher's Choice Award, 2004 Borders Original Voices Selection
Overview: This book is a beautiful picture book that describes different animals and bugs that are nocturnal and are awake when we are sleeping. These animals love the night. It includes grasshoppers, fireflies, octopus, tree frogs, bats and many more.
Activity: This book could be a perfect introduction to a science lesson on nocturnal animals. I love the pictures in this book and it looks like the illustrator cuts paper and layers it on top of each other. The children could do an art project using the words of the book but not the pictures.
Reviewer's Name: Gina DeBartolome
