Possum, hiding, is joined by a succession of nocturnal animals, each fleeing the next. When Bat asks what everyone is scared of, the group responds, "night animals," whereupon the bat dispenses some much-needed information. Illustrations use the black backgrounds and bold animal silhouettes to impart maximum drama and humor, particularly in the narrative payoff involving campers. Animal fact sheets hide inside the dust jacket.
