In one story a lost wolf pup has to find its way back to its pack, while another looks at a flying fox as it goes for a midnight swim.

All of these nighttime animals and their habitats are brought to life with impressive skill by illustrator Jennifer Falkner.Each story in Secrets of the Stars is based on the real biology and behaviour of these amazing wild animals, and at the end of each tale readers will find out more about the science that inspired the story. So as they drift off to sleep, they will know a little bit more about the animals that are waking up and beginning their day.The cover features a timeless design with silver foil and a cloth texture, making this book the perfect gift.
