Illustrated by
Henry Cole.
When night falls, nocturnal animals such as owls, field mice, and flying squirrels urge their children into action. "'Lazyheads!' Opossum hisses. / 'I'm waiting to get my wake-up kisses.' / Cries Mother Bat, 'It's time to fly, / Gliding-flapping through the sky.'" In the illustrations for this agreeable poem, dark pages with white highlights provide an attention-getting vehicle for close-ups of the animals.
