APPEAL: AVERAGE
This book
features an animal per page and how they sleep. Its very simple, for example,
the Rhino “sleeps alone” and Ants “sleep only for a moment. The illustrations
are large and there is additional information about each animal at the end of
the book.
The artwork in
this book is very dated looking and has a darkness to it (I get it, the book is
about sleep) that just makes the art look dreary as well. The information is
simple but leaves many questions that the teacher may or may not be able to
answer, when a second simple sentence may have clarified. I prefer Time to
Sleep by Steve Jenkins.
