In an oversize format, Simler depicts a variety of blue animals, birds, and plants that appear in the "blue hour": the time between day and night. Poetic text pairs with dramatic blue-dominated art for an impressively gorgeous catalog. Thirty-two shades of blue are identified on the front endpapers; a concluding endpaper map of the world roughly places the animals in their native locations.
