In this flip-over book, animals are shown during day, or--flip the book--nighttime activities. Each page features a number from one to ten, with that many animals on the page (e.g., for daytime number two, two porcupines sleep in a tree that two bear cubs climb). Minimal singsongy rhyming text accompanies the realistically portrayed creatures. Copyright 2005 Horn Book Guide Reviews. - Library Media Connection : Library Media Connection Reviews 2006 January
There are two sides to every story as illustrated in this beautiful book. Some forest animals may sleep while others are awake, no matter if it is day or night. Jennifer Ward begins her book as the sun rises and sunlight streams through the forest. The nocturnal animals are sleeping on each page while the featured animals are awake and active. One deer leaps while one owl sleeps high in a tree. The numbers of animals increase on each page up to 10. As the book continues it includes many different types of forest creatures both large and small. Then as the sun sets, the book gets flipped over to continue a night in the forest. The rich, detailed illustrations add a layer of depth to the rhyming patterns of the poetic text. There are also hidden numbers in the illustrations that will keep many children entertained as they pore over each page. This book could be used to introduce a study of forest animals, create a list of nocturnal animals, or introduce new vocabulary for animal behaviors or even where animals live and sleep. All readers will enjoy Jamichael Henterly's illustrations as they complement this playful and rhyming account of a busy day in the forest. Recommended.

K-Gr 3 -Using a rhythmic text and a turn-it-over format, this offering explores the concept that some forest animals are diurnal while others are nocturnal. The details of the lush, almost surreal, illustrations realistically convey the creatures' appearances and activities. The imaginative interpretation of the landscape and its inhabitants offers youngsters an unusual perspective of forest life. During daylight hours, they can observe deer splashing through a stream while an owl dozes in a nearby tree, snakes staring at sleeping foxes, and blue jays squawking as skunks snooze in a hollow log. After turning the book over to the "forest night," readers see the deer bedded down while the owl searches for food, the foxes on the prowl as the snakes rest in a tangled bunch, and the skunks scurrying about while a jay sleeps with its head tucked beneath its wing. The strong artwork will hold children's interest as they search for all of the hidden animals. A fun introduction to nature.-Pamela K. Bomboy, Chesterfield County Public Schools, VA
