I love this book! Where Are the Night Animals? is an excellent example of how an informational picturebook can be very interesting. This whole book takes place during one night. A coyote, skunk, barn owl, opossum, raccoon, tree frog, brown bat, and harvest mice emerge and go about their business

 during the night. This book contains almost all narrative text and weaves information about different animals' habitats and food sources into the story. Detailed, realistic-looking pictures cover every page, too, which is lovely. I think this book is appropriate for a read-aloud book in kindergarten. Maybe first graders and definitely second and third graders could read this book to themselves and enjoy it.
