Perfect Picks from the Services for Children Staff

What do bats, moths, possums, and the moon have in common?  They're all things that come out at night!  For our sixth round of Perfect Picks, the Services for Children staff have selected their favorite fiction and nonfiction books about nocturnal animals and other things related to the night.

When you select a book cover, you will be taken to a Services for Children staff member's page, where you can read their reason for why they like that particular book and the book's age range.  The book's title will also be linked to our online catalog, where you can see what M/RCPL locations have the book on the shelf.
