A Wild Child's Guide to Nature at Night

About this book

Can I show you the magic of nature at night? A fascinating world awaits. 

This beautiful book explores five different environments in which to spot nocturnal life: a garden; woodland; countryside; heathland; and the sky. 

Within each chapter, there are facts about the relevant creatures to the habitat – from hedgehogs to moths, owls to bats – and general information, such as how to identify animals from their poo. 

Also included are practical tips on how to create a haven for wildlife, and the names of some hard-working organisations that are helping animals to survive and thrive.  

Dara McAnulty is a renowned young naturalist writer, and his introductions to each section are poetic and full of wonder, while the fact sections are informative and friendly. As with the previous Wild Child books, Barry Falls’ artwork is stunning, creating an incredible sense of atmosphere as well as detailed animal illustrations. 

A stylish non-fiction book that promotes respect and love of nature, this is a gift to treasure.
