Moon: night-time around the world (Peek-through Nature)
Moon: night-time around the world (Peek-through Nature) by Patricia Hegarty, illustrated by Britta Teckentrup
As the moon waxes and wanes overhead, the world below remains wonderfully alive. Sea turtles lay their eggs on moonlit beaches, migrating birds use the moon to help guide their journeys, and creatures across the planet continue their night-time lives.
Patricia Hegarty’s lyrical rhyming text carries readers from deserts to oceans, while Britta Teckentrup’s rich, atmospheric illustrations transform every landscape with moonlight. Carefully designed peek-through pages make the moon appear to change shape as the book moves through the lunar cycle.
Calm enough for bedtime and fascinating enough for an early science or nature topic, this is a beautiful introduction to moon phases, nocturnal wildlife and the many connections between the moon and life on Earth.
