Sleepy
Sleepy: Surprising Ways Animals Snooze | Jennifer Ward
1 post | 2 read
From award-winning author Jennifer Ward and Caldecott Honor illustrator Robin Page, this real eye-opener (Kirkus Reviews, starred review) nonfiction picture book interweaves informative poems and prose to show the many different ways animals snooze! Just like people, all animals need sleep, but not all animals sleep in the same way. When dolphins sleep, half their brain stays awake. Snakes sleep with their eyes open. Giraffes sleep in five-minute intervals, while koalas sleep for twenty-two hours a day! From grizzly bears to hummingbirds, there are creatures of all sizes and habitats to wish a good night in this cozy and compelling book.

3⭐This should be a typical picture book, but it‘s odd that the story starts on the title page. And if you don‘t need the title page, then it feels like you started in the middle of the story. I‘m not a huge fan of the way. The story is laid out, but I do like how it rhymes in the illustrations are quite lovely plus the info bits of how the ifferent animal sleep and sleep required of kids at the end is a great addition to this story. #IllinoisReads
