Marino, Gianna. 2015. Night Animals. New York: Viking.
Full bleed illustrations let the night sky offer an expansive and inky stage for highlighting a comical group of nocturnal animals that are afraid of noises in the night. The large illustrations clearly detail the animals' antics, wide-eyed fear, and varying reactions to things that go "aaaarrrrooo!" in the night. The skunk is often depicted with a noxious greenish cloud behind him (much to the dismay of Possum), while the possum (appropriately) plays dead,
Minimal text is presented in cartoon-style word bubbles,
Bear, Wolf, Skunk and Possum run from the "night animals." It takes a bat to tell them the real danger in the nighttime forest.
Night Animals will tickle the funny bone of any young child. This is a perfect book for sharing with a group. Possum is hilarious!
