This is a perfect bedtime story for children. It had vibrant colors and children can learn what animals are doing while they're asleep dreaming.

I thought this book was cute, it showed the typical day in the life of South Africa. In the day, the people ran South Africa. They went to work, school, they played outside. At night when the people went to sleep, South Africa belonged to the animals. They listed a lot of animals in the book, and what they were doing on a South African night. I think this book would be good to read to kids, especially young kids, because of the amount of new animals they could be introduced to: a black mamba, lionesses, leopards, hippopotamus, elephants. I think that young kids who likes animals will really enjoy this book. ( )

I love this book. I think this is a very cute book to read to young students. From the cover page, I was not expecting this story to be the way it was however, once taking a second look at the cover, I notice the hint with the animals. I like how Isadora uses the entire page for illustrations in this book. A lot of the books I have previously read have not done this. Lastly, I enjoyed how the two settings connect at the beginning and the end. Overall, great book that id love to read to my students. ( )

The book talks about what happens at night in africa. How the animals live and hunt at night. ( )

This is a fun book about the different ways that different cultures say goodnight. It talks about whats its like at night in South Africa as well as animals in S. Africa. I would recommend this book for ages:3-7. ( )
