A narrative non-fiction story of a day on Earth

Fireflies sparkle as the day fades to night, then nocturnal creatures comes out to begin their business - view these pages in low light to see what glows in the darkness!

Readers can delve into the labels to find out more about the beauty, mystery - and science - of the natural world, and how the plants and animals are perfectly suited to waking up when they do. Turn to the back to explore 'A Guide to Day and Night' and a glossary of keywords.
