This was an interesting short photo book that covers over animals that are awake during the night and it’s a really fun easy book especially if you’re gonna read this to a younger child or younger audience. This will be good before bed. I also think that the illustrations are grey. Obviously this is not marketed for me specifically, but my baby cousin enjoy this very much so I would definitely say this is a good book to pick up to have as a staple for younger children

I started this book loving the writing style and information but found myself wishing it was in color. It was so well done I felt like I was missing something and I was! I went back to the cover and saw that this book is intentionally not colored in because it's left for the reader TO COLOR! And this already awesome book just got awesomer (yeah I know that's not a word). Plus, when I had already decided I was giving it 5 stars... we made it to the activity guide at the back. Which made me want to give it 5 and a half stars.

Joining Story Monster on this nocturnal journey alongside Eddie the Elf Owl was an absolute delight. The book's engaging storytelling and "graphic novel" style illustrations kept me hooked from start to finish. It's a perfect read for young learners, parents, and teachers who want to ignite curiosity about science and nature. Night Watchers is an excellent resource for promoting literacy and fostering a love for S.T.E.A.M. subjects in a fun and engaging way.

Step into the exciting world of Night Watchers - a captivating science adventure filled with intriguing nocturnal creatures. This book took me on a thrilling journey with Story Monster, who, with the help of Eddie the Elf Owl, serves as the perfect learning guide. The language used throughout the book is so lively and fun, it made exploring science feel like an exciting discovery rather than a lesson. The graphic novel style illustrations were a visual treat, adding an extra layer of excitement to the learning experience. I couldn't put it down, and I bet anyone who picks it up won't be able to either!

Thank you, NetGalley!

I really liked this book, although it is a kids' book. It has a lot of great information about many different animals. I would like this book better if the graphics were colored in. It will be a good, educational book for kids.

Night Watchers by Conrad J. Storad - 5/5
Children's Fiction - Parenting & Families

Night Watchers: Nocturnal Creatures of North America is a fantastic read. I believe all individuals are interested in or have a favorite animal and learning about nocturnal creatures is a great way to expand not only your knowledge but what you like. My favorite nocturnal creature is Eddie the Elf Owl. Eddie helps guides us through the story with a great narrative and stunning graphic novel illustrations. My 5- and 7-year-olds thoroughly enjoyed this story and opened up the floor to many discussions about nocturnal animals.

Thank you NetGalley and Story Monsters Press for the eARC.
