Lindy Burnett.
"Settle down, sleepy Swallow. / Sunset has come.... / Open your eyes, little Bat. / The sun is gone." Set at dusk, this picture book portrays the "switch" in animal activity between the animals active during the day and those awake at night. The book's concept is clever--matching creatures that hunt for the same food--but the verse and illustrations are stilted.
