While the heavy text may be a bit intimidating for reluctant readers, this book is a feast for the eyes for kids who enjoy learning about animals, and the fact that it is glow in the dark will make it a fun experience. The ARC I received was an e-book, so I didn't get the full glow in the dark aspect, but the book itself stands on its own as a solid nonfiction book about nocturnal animals.
Don't let the bland cover deceive you -- this book is full of rich illustrations accompanying a STEM-filled story.
Josephine is not just a unique human being -- she's a mammal, an animal, and a living thing. Examples of other humans, mammals, animals, and living things are given, and the reader is invited to count them all.
This is a great way to begin introducing biology concepts at a young age.

When Chirp and his friends find themselves in perilous situations during their adventure, they don't panic. They've brought the right supplies, and they know how to use them!
Chirp: A River Leaks Through It is best for the primary school crowd. As a children's librarian, I am looking forward to pairing this with some fun water-based STEM activities. This is the first book I have read in this series, but I will certainly go through the others after reading this.
