What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Who’s out at night, and what do they do? These poems answer that for you… Twenty-one animals who live by the light of the moon get profiled in Harrison’s poems, written in a variety of forms, some rhymed and most not. Each is featured in a one- or two-page spread with realistic, appropriately dark, attractive illustrations by Laberis. A fine collection of poetical odes to a nicely diverse group of nighttime fauna.” – Kirkus Reviews
