This easy to read to book will be an interesting starting point for young children who are interested in all types of animals and especially to get them started with animals who use darkness to a means of their survival. And since there are different types of darkness the book is easily divided into chapters that include cave animals, animals that live beneath or under, night-flyers and night crawlers as well as what adaptations are required to help them live.
The writing is easy to read and understand although in some areas almost too simplistic as well as repetitive. This repetitive style will allow it to be a good beginning book for children who are venturing into the world of chapter books without it being overwhelming.

The only problem I found was a bit of an organizational one. The author did a wonderful job in sub-grouping the different animals to discuss them in details. Sadly there were some instances where an animal of another group appeared in the paragraph or there were no heading for other groups. In my opinion I would have loved to seen the consistency within the book myself but still a wonderful read.… (altro)
