Using descriptive illustrations, onomatopoeia, and dialogue, Nightsong brings to life the sounds of a rural area. One night, Lewis is travelling home with his mother. He had to wait ages for the adults to stop talking and now their bus has broken down! Lewis is bored. He wanders around watching the moon and listening to the beetles buzz and the critters zip. The animals make scurries and hoots while Lewis plays. The night noises amuse Lewis until the loud sound of the bus's BEEP disturbs him. A new bus takes Lewis home, but he cherishes the sound.
