On a recent visit to The Hickory Stick, a lovely local bookshop, we spotted Wendell and Florence Minor signing books. It’s exciting to meet authors and illustrators, and we had fun learning more about their stories. It was hard to decide which one to buy with so many great titles, but Margo and I love animals, so Daylight Starlight Wildlife
won.
This book has gorgeous illustrations that depict animals in the day and at night. It’s a
wonderful way to learn about wildlife, and there are interesting things to search for in the
realistic illustrations. We played “I Spy” while reading, and the game was super fun because there's so much to see in every picture.
Where are they going? What are they doing?
Has anyone else read Daylight Starlight Wildlife? Or have you read another book written or illustrated by Wendell or Florence Minor?
We'd love to hear your thoughts.
Happy Reading!
