‘A oscuras cosas que pasan de noche’

A oscuras cosas que pasan de noche

In Spanish, from 5yo.

Beautiful book to learn about what happens when the night falls. The clock keeps ticking and people all over the world do thousands of different activities. Some sleep and during their sleep, their bodies relax and recharge. Others like owls prefer night time to study, read or work.

What happens when you sleep? How do dreams happen? Do you sleep walk? Then comes dawn. It is almost time to wake up and get up and for some people it is time to go to bed. Learn about nocturnal animals, the northern lights, working in dark places such as the underground or the mines, how the weather is predicted, and many more…..
