A Walk in the Dark

Take a walk through nighttime nature and meet the mammals, birds and insects that wake up while most people are tucked up in bed!

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

A dusk till dawn walk through nature through the eyes of the animals who hunt, scavenge, play, dig and build while most people are tucked up in bed.

Beginning just as the human world is slowing down for the evening, A Walk in the Dark takes the reader into the woods and the moonlit countryside. As the sun sets, a family of rabbits hop out of their burrows... until they spot a hungry fox returning to the badger's sett... and follow the badger through a field where wood mice hide from owls circling overhead...

With fact boxes on every page and tips on how we can all help nocturnal animals, little ones will discover a whole world that's taking place in the dark.

About the Author

Alice Hemming (Author)

Alice has never been at a loss for ideas. A childhood playing make-believe and working her way through the shelves of the local library helped fuel her imagination. She began her working life as a librarian and a web content editor, while all the time attending various part-time classes, in sculpture, illustration and writing. Alice lives in Hertfordshire, UK with her husband and two children. When she's not visiting schools, she works in a writing shed at the top of her garden, where she can immerse herself in the world of her stories.

Elin Manon (Illustrator)

Elin Manon is an illustrator from Wales now based in Perth, Scotland, UK, after graduating from Falmouth University and living in Cornwall for 6 years. Her work is inspired by the natural world, ecology, folklore and anthropology. A passion for storytelling and the celebration and protection of our natural world has been a constant drive within her creative process. Through her work Elin hopes to deepen our connection to the environment, reflecting stories of the landscape in a world that is often focused on the material.
