Product Description
Nighttime is hardly quiet. It’s filled with a world of strange and curious sounds. Now children discover all of the amazing animals that are wide awake when they are fast asleep in this delightful new book from best-selling author and illustrator Maurice Pledger. Sounds of the Wild Nighttime brings together incredible pop-up panoramas and mysterious animal sounds to give little ones a glimpse into the mysterious, after-dark world. They journey to the European woodland, and hear the calls of tawny owls on the hunt, then it’s off to the sunset shadows of the Mediterranean where they can listen to noisy cicadas. The moonlit tour continues on to the Rocky Mountains, the Everglades and the Malaysian jungle, rumbling with the majestic roar of the Indo-Chinese tiger. This wonderful nighttime adventure makes an educational and entertaining bedtime book.

Animals Of The Night November 1, 2008

This is a wonderful book to acquaint children with nature. I work with a child in READS and he is almost a non reader. He loved that book. We took turns reading the pages. MaryOlt

My 1 year old learned half her 30-word vocabulary from this book, she loves it so much! Of course, it also taught her how to howl like a wolf. :) Meanwhile, everyone from 1 to 100 enjoys the detailed information on wildlife. A favorite.
 Animal pop-up with sounds March 28, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Maurice Pledger's book have great illustrations that are detailed and true to life. Any of his books should be visually pleasing. This book contains five two-page pop-up layouts covering different habitats (Euro woodland, Mediterranean scrubland, Rocky Mountains, Florida swamps, and Malaysian jungle). Each layout has animals and insects that are active at night. When you open a pop-up page, sounds that you would hear in that habitat play (e.g. wolves, cicadas). The sounds do not play continuously but, with a slight manipulation of the page, can easily be played again. Between each pop-up layout is a page with a numbered diagram to help identify the species featured, along with more information.
This book could be a favorite that grows with a child, as the colorful pop-ups and sounds will entertain when young, and the info and topic could be discussed when older. The sounds are nice b/c they aren't continuous, and battery replacement is an option.
The pop-ups are very nice with animal movement or springing up from the page. I do not feel the pop-ups are lacking, but they aren't as dazzling as some of the paper engineering out there.
A super neat book for kids December 7, 2007
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
This is areally lovely pop up book with sounds. It's best if a parent supervises a small child who has this book so the child does not destroy the intricate pop ups. A great book for bedtime reading or when reading with a child. The sounds are great. My children 6 and 8 enjoyed it immensely. Includes details about the habitats and behaviors of the animals in the book.
