Publisher's Note At a time when most children have been tucked into their beds on a warm summer evening, nighttime springs to life. Written in lyrical language that weaves its tale like a moonflower vine, "The Moonflower" brings an often unseen world to light for budding young naturalists. Full color.
Industry Reviews "The text offers a lyrical story--beautifully illustrated with a casual quality that keeps the eye interested....all of the magic that nature should be for children is kept in the telling; sidebars keep the science, so young readers have the benefit of both." Bloomsbury Review - Kathleen Cain
