The night is like an animal
that nibbles on the day.
Everywhere it takes a bite
the sky turns dark and gray.

So begins this enchanting bedtime poem about the beauty of Night. Traveling across the earth, Night - in the form of an animal - brings peaceful sleep to children around the world. And when dawn comes, it departs, leaving hidden paw prints in the shadows and elusive memories of sweet dreams. Both children and adults will delight in following Nights' moonlit ramble.
