The hottest picture book from the incredible duo behind
the New York Times bestseller, The Leaf Thief!
Squirrel is back, and he's enjoying the long, sunny summer days.
But wait! Why is Bird going to bed when the sun is still up?
What a silly idea! Squirrel could never fall asleep while
it's still light...
And when the sun starts to disappear earlier and earlier each
night, Squirrel is convinced there MUST be a sun
thief about!
Join Squirrel on a mission to find the culprit, and meet some
new nocturnal friends along the way. Luckily, the sun always comes
out in the end ... even if it doesn't stay for long!
Another personality-packed story by Alice Hemming, celebrating
the changing seasons
Brilliant illustrations by Nicola Slater that are full of expression
and humour
With a handy information spread at the back for kids that explains
why days become longer in the summer and get shorter through
the winter
Lots of fun facts about nocturnal animals, too!
