BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE 

Possum and Skunk are so tired, it's daytime and they are night animals and need to find somewhere quiet and dark to sleep! They try a cave, but there's bees - and they find their friend bear! They squeeze into a hollow tree, but beaver cuts it down. Climbing into a den is a bad idea, wolf was already in there, but he scared skunk so now it smells bad.Will they ever get to sleep? 

So silly - I'm glad I've read "Night Animals" because this is a follow- up. Possum is hilarious - he keeps "dying" at each scare, so they drag him to the next place where he wakes up. As a bonus - and I'm interested to see how librarians will facilitate this - the inside of the book jacket has fun facts about where night animals sleep.
