Moonlight Animals (Lightbeam Books)

I wasn't sure what to expect when I ordered this book because I couldn't find any videos showing what it was or what it did but the reviews convinced me to get it. I am very pleased with this book. I haven't given it to my daughter yet, it is going to be a Christmas present, but I know she is going to love it. The left side of the pages are just small paragraphs on what the animals eats and how much and such and then it has some "did you know" facts followed by some good ol' can you find it game. The right side of the pages are a translucent page which has the details such as the animals and trees on it and it lies over a black page so it appears dark. Each page has a "flashlight" which is just a white "beam" in the shape of a flash light. The white paper makes the images on the translucent screen a lot more visible and so you have the flashlight effect. I've included a picture of what the flashlight looks like out of the pages and how it appears in the page.Overall, a very cute and unique book. Not much of a plot book but a lot of facts and learning opportunities in it. It seems sturdy and I'm hoping lasts through several hundred readings. Very impressed.

This book is the cutest! I’ve bought two now for other kids cause it’s fun, educational, and cute! Teaches about nature in a cute and fun way!

Can’t wait to read this (and show it since it’s interactive) to my 3 year old granddaughter! I think it’s an adorable and interesting idea for a child’s book!

This book is t what i thought i was ordering but it is very cute. Each page has I donation about animals on one side and the other has a photo where you love the tab that looks like a beam of light.

This is a brilliant book. The animals in the book are hard to see, as they're under a dark cellulose sheet covering the page,,,but wait!.. There's the end of a flashlight sticking out at the edge of the page (kind of like a pull-out tab) and Oh-My-God, if you shine the flashlight "beam" around the page all the animals light up as the beam hits them!. Wow! Fascinating for small children, brilliant idea on the part of the author. The kind of book that children will want to read over and over and over and over again.But wait, there's more! One side of the open book is all illustration, the other side is interesting text with "did you know" facts about the animals on the opposite page.Buy this book for anyone between the ages of 3 and 8, you won't regret it. Betcha that in 25 years the kid still has the book; it's a "keeper" book.The author also has a Moonlight Oceans book. We need more of these: underground animals, prehistoric, reptiles, birds, etc. I'll buy anything she writes.

Cute book for youngsters

I just bought this as a gift for my 3 year old grandson. He is a very active little boys who needs interactive things to stimulate him. I was very happy to receive this book yesterday and think it will be perfect for him. The pages are nice and thick, the colors bright and I will read the great information that is on each page.Hoping he will love it as much as I think he will. (Giving it to him in a few weeks).

My grandson does not sit well with regular books. He stays very engaged with these and loves searching for items.

Súper!

Bellissimo, per ora il mio bimbo di tre anni si diverte a trovare gli animali con la luce e già ripete i nomi degli animali

What a delightful book. And so original. The basic idea is that on each page there are animals to discover, with info on each animal. How it works: a dark plastic sheet covers the page, with an opening for a bright flat "flashlight" one can aim by slippiing it between the plastic sheet and the image. When you "shine" the light on an animal you can see it. Great for children 3-6 years old. This book is part of a series.

Amazing book, love the concept! We have Moonlight Ocean, and I will try and collect all three of them. Even I like looking at them, and I'm an adult!

Cool concept but design/construction wasn't awesome. The two middle pages where the spine of the book is were way too wide where the "flashlight" kept feeling out of the book and the objects were difficult to fine because the pages were so spread out.
