Product Description
"Creatures of the Night" is a delightful tale of the world of nocturnal creatures. Children are fascinated, and sometimes intimidated, by this world that exists in the darkness. This beautifully illustrated rhyming tale allows them to associate playful, fun characters with the sounds and noises they hear. This story is sure to help each child drift off to a peaceful sleep with charming images of singing toads, dancing fireflies and other creatures that come out to play when the sun goes down.
