Description
While old tales warn us that danger lies waiting in the dark, there is actually an abundance of thriving, colorful life. Solar winds brighten the sky with Northern and Southern Lights. In the desert, elegant datura blooms at night, enticing moths to help with pollination, while in the Rockies grizzly bears make a meal of the insects to sustain them during hibernation. In the ocean, night-feeding dolphins chase nocturnal squid which have made a vertical migration to the surface. In the jungles, jaguars hunt by moonlight while night monkeys swing safely through the trees.
Experienced naturalist and photographer Charles Hood captures it all, sharing his nocturnal adventures all over the world, with insight, wit, and over 240 stunning photographs. Open your senses to this darkened world, which is strange yet familiar—and more beautiful than you ever imagined.

Simply stunning. The beauty of nighttime and the life that is so active in the dark are too often overlooked and under appreciated. This book is informative, gorgeous, and all around wonderful. At times I would have liked the photos to be larger to provide a better view, but this is a minor concern and doesn’t detract from the enjoyment of the book in any major way.
Kasey L, Reviewer
This was such a cool nature guide book! I really enjoyed the detailed chapters along with great photos to supplement the text. Very easy to follow along with the text.
Good for all ages, for anyone curious about what goes on in nature at night! Thanks to Timber Press and NetGalley for a copy of this ARC, all opinions are my own.
Lindsay P, Librarian
The photos are beautiful and the writing is a good mix of fact and humor. It is aimed at children (based on publisher information), but the words-to-photo mix lends itself to middle/high school grades. The writing style is solidly 5-7th grade. I was hoping for more photos and fewer words per page.
The information is great and well organized. This would be a great book for a school library or public library non-fiction children's section.
This unbiased review was given in exchange for an AeRC of the book through netgalley.
