About the Book: 
In this adventure story from the “Follow Me” series, Oliver and Paris follow a Luna moth at dusk and learn about nocturnal animals. With the porch light to guide them safely home, they continue hiking and discover raccoon kits playing hide-and-seek and an opossum with a slumber party on her back! They lose sight of Luna, but have fun stumbling on more surprises in Frog Swamp. When they return home, they discover the biggest surprise of all waiting at the light.

My Review:
The Follow Me gang, Oliver and Paris, are back in this adventure of exploring the woods at night to learn about night critters. Colorful, bright illustrations bring this story to life in a way that even pre-readers will enjoy. Chasing a luna moth was never so fun as following these two kids on their night hike.

Included in the book are a number of special activities for kids and educators to download from the author’s website, including mazes and word searches and directions to create costumes to accompany a stage version of the story for young actors.

About the Author:
Amy Laundrie, a retired teacher and the author of nine other books, grew up playing “Ghost in the Graveyard,” an outdoor nighttime hide-and-seek game. She’s anticipating her upcoming “sleep out under the stars” night and hopes to see some of the nocturnal animals featured in this book—with the exception of the skunk.
