Publishers Weekly

First in a spin-off series of the Nocturnals middle grade novels, this banter-filled early reader describes the initial meeting between shy Tobin the pangolin, brash Bismark the sugar glider, and kindhearted Dawn the fox. An argument over ownership of a pomelo that Tobin discovers while snuffling around at night brings the three creatures together, and the pared-down narration and dialogue quickly establish their personalities, as does Singleton's cartoon artwork, which shows the characters striking expressive poses midconflict. The plot is relatively scant--it takes the animals a while just to share their names with each other, let alone do much else--but Hecht and Dowling successfully set the stage for more adventurous outings down the road. Closing notes provide additional details about the animals (and explain what a pomelo is). Ages 5-7. (Sept.)
