Discover a pangolin at dusk,fly on the bat's back,visit a lion and hear about his plight; try the moth alphabet tongue-twister,meet fighting Tazzies on a night out in Tasmania or dream about the five-legged dog and three-legged cat! Then find out about real,huge Titanosaurus and amazing Coelacanths. You might spot a kingfisher,that'small glint of wonder',and see how'wild reclaims the world'in the urban night-time.
These beautiful poems are perfectly melded with Petr Hor谩ek's gorgeous,glowing paintings and the combination is extraordinary - passionate,playful,thoughtful and exciting. Like the goldfinch in the final poem,this wonderful book will'set the heart free and flying'.

MEDIA REVIEWS
"Horacek's richly coloured paintings inspired Davies to write 40 poems about animals,from rollicking couplets to wonder-filled lyricism. Together,they form a passionate,magical love letter to nature."
"A picture book which is a true partnership of images and words. The book is both a joy to look at and read...
The imagery throughout is evocative,vibrant and colourful and there is so much to explore on each page. I think that children especially will be inspired by the artwork and will want to create their own images replicating Petr's style...
This is a book that will endure. It is a book to keep but also to gift,being the perfect addition to a bedroom bookshelf or a classroom book corner. "
