This book shows how animals all over the world are going to sleep. It tells about how different all of the animals sleep such as fish with their eyes open, bears in a cave, and raccoons all wrapped up. It includes rhymes and songs about the animals sleeping. The book has alot of tongue twisting sentences. It was a little difficult to read but it was a really good book.
VERY sweet book, irresistible illustrations. Surely still a favourite with the little ones.
This book had different stories and poems about animals going to sleep. I liked it because it gave you options on how long of a story you read or if you want to read a poem. Also some of the pictures are in black and white so I thought that was different.
