Caterpillars, moths, raccoons, fireflies, and all other creatures of the forest are waiting for you in one of the most exciting and enchanting nature stories written by Clara Dillingham Pierson – Among the Night People.Written at the turn of the 20th century and published in 1902, Pierson’s story collection is more than a century old, yet due to the remarkable, timeless style and engaging, creative stories involved, children can still feel extremely close to the lessons and entertaining events depicted in the book even today.Like many of Pierson’s delightful works of children’s literature, this book focuses on animals, their interactions and their lives. After reading less than a page you will already have learned more about some of Pierson’s beautiful little creatures than most textbooks would teach, and the inspirational life stories included just make the books more educational with each passing sentence.A brisk pace will keep your child interested, and through the author’s gentle storytelling, the animals will all seem to communicate with each other through their own unique language and ways, even if the narrator presents them as personified and able to speak English. Also, their different problems, their parties and their adventures will have a few wise lessons and a lot of understanding about life to pass on to both adults and children alike. You will have a definite memorable time reading to your little ones about the Greedy Red Fox, the shy Ground Hog or the young caterpillar known as Miss Polyphemus, who would soon find the joy and delight of becoming a moth.There are no better children’s tales out there that can help your young explorers learn more about nature and its many wonders. Among the Night People will teach, entertain and enchant through its beautiful descriptions and memorable adventures, leading children to realms they never thought the train of imagination could take them.

Excerpt: ...people like what others do not, and one's opinion of a marsh must Pg 111 always depend on whether he is a Grasshopper or a Frog. But whether people cared to live there or not, the marsh had always been a pleasant place to see. In the spring the tall tamaracks along the edge put on their new dresses of soft, needle-shaped green leaves, the marsh-marigolds held their bright faces up to the sun, and hundreds of happy little people darted in and out of the tussocks of coarse grass. There was a warm, wet, earthy smell in the air, and near the pussy-willows there was also a faint bitterness. Then the Marsh Hens made their nests, and the Sand-pipers ran mincingly along by the quiet pools. In summer time the beautiful moccasin flowers grew in family groups, and over in the higher, dryer part were masses of white boneset, tall spikes of creamy foxglove, and slender, purple vervain. In the fall the cat-tails stood stiffly Pg 112 among their yellow leaves, and the Red-winged Blackbirds and the Bobolinks perched upon them to plan their journey to the south. Even when the birds were gone and the cat-tails were ragged and worn
