Day and Night

In this new series from Waterbird Books, young readers are guided in a tour around the five continents, through parks and areas near to cities. They will discover animals that alternate living in these in habitats during night and day, in the past and present, above and below the water, and in hot and cold weather. A two-page spread explains the classification of the animals found in the book, and four pages are devoted to identifying specific animals in each family. An index is included. This series supplements school curriculum in Science.

The contrast of day and night plays the main role in Night and Day, the first volume of the new Contrasts series. Readers will discover fascinating animals that are awake and active at night, and learn about their counterparts that are active in the daytime. The habitats this book explores are a park in England, an oasis in a desert in North Africa, a garden in the US, a clearing on the Australian coast, and a small wooded area on the mountains in Japan.
