What happens in the animal kingdom when the moon is out? There are the Party Animals who love to get festive and make lots of noise. Watch out for the Biters and Bloodsuckers, Nimble Night-time Ninjas and Prickly Personalities ... you might also want to avoid the Slimeballs and Slippery Characters. These are just a few of the quirky groupings artist Tai Snaith uses to categorise her favourite animals from around the world.

Discover the habits, traits and fantastic features of over 200 night-time creatures. Including facts and information about the curious nocturnal animals found inside, Wonders Under the Moon is a delightfully illustrated field guide for all the aspiring explorers, artists, environmentalists and taxonomists.
