Thank you to NetGalley.com and Schiffer Publishing Ltd. for allowing me access to this title.
What fantastic illustrations! It was really fun to learn about the different animals that come out during the day and night in the different regions.

Can I give it 2 1/2 stars?
I love the format of this book. Each pair of paintings shows the same location at day at night, but of course a different set of animals is out and about depending on the time. The illustrations are beautiful and detailed and the variety of animals pictured is great. My one complaint is that the actual story or sentence descriptions were rather boring. "An owl flies through the night sky while two stray cats prowl on the ground." That's hard to make sound interesting or engaging. I wish it was a funner read, but the pictures alone may make it worthwhile for some parents.

The labels would have been better placed on the actual artwork, rather than in the back of the book.
