The perfect entree for young readers to begin devouring books independently, The Nocturnals: The Moonlight Meeting is the first in a new series of young reader chapter books that is filled with whimsy and educational content.
Fabled Films Press, the imprint of Fabled Films, a children’s media and entertainment company, is thrilled to announce Grow & Read, a new early reader program for The Nocturnals. Through this series, which was created under the supervision of reading specialists, children will develop confidence for success in reading while being delighted by traditional storytelling. The books are perfect for shared reading and reading aloud in both the classroom and at home.
In The Moonlight Meeting (September 2017), the Nocturnal Brigade: Dawn, a serious fox, Tobin, a sweet pangolin and Bismark, the loud mouthed, pint-sized sugar glider introduce their nighttime world to early readers who discover the meaning of friendship and sharing. The book has gorgeous illustrations, which strengthen the understanding of the story while adding whimsy and humor.
A spin-off of the acclaimed Nocturnals series — and supported by free, downloadable activities like crafts, science projects, and more — The Moonlight Meeting will capture young readers’ imaginations and get their minds thinking.
The characters of the Nocturnal Brigade are charming and entertaining, and this book about their first meeting is simple but enchanting. Besides meeting these unique figures, readers will also learn about each animal, what it means to be nocturnal, and more. But the education isn’t heavy-handed, and is woven seamlessly into the context of the story (though a “Fun Facts” section at the back of the book offers some good information for readers wanting to learn more).
Look for The Nocturnals: The Midnight Meeting in stores everywhere now.
