Review: It's a Perfect Night

It's a Perfect Night

Written and Illustrated by Abigail Pizer

Publication date: 1995
Publisher: Macmillan Children's Books

ISBN: 0-333-63755

As the sun sets behind the woods...

the night animals begin to stir.

With sounds and pictures, you can follow them through their perfect night.

Currently a favourite for our nealy-two year old, we follow the different animals through their night time activities.  Every new animal is introduced with a noise and the list is repeated to allow the listener to join in and identify the animal and make the noise.  This interaction is what our son loves and being able to identify the different animals as well, the cat being his particular favourite. 

I assume this is a British book, with British animals so I have made the nightjar a generic bird when reading.  There are other animals that kiwi kids may not be familiar with (shrews, minks) but it's all about expanding their horizons. 

3.5/5
