Animals Day and Night

Animals Day and Night
By Katherine Kenah
Nonfiction

This is a nonfiction book about animals that sleep during the day and wake up to eat at night. The koala the hippopotamus and the opossum are three of those animals.  The koala eats leaves at night, the hippo eats plants at night and the opossum looks for food to eat.  The rhinoceros is another animal that sleeps during the day but at night digs for food.  The skunk, the sun bear, the green turtle and the cougar are four other animals that will rather sleep during the day and eat at night.  All these along with other animals if asked to choose between being awake during the day or at night would much rather choose night.

I would use this book in my class because it tells about which animals are nocturnal.  I would use this book during a nonfiction read aloud or during partner read.  This book is good for Kindergarten- 2nd grade.
