BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ESSENTIAL
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
Like other living things, birds need rest, too. But did you know there are birds who sleep while floating on the ocean? Birds who sleep while gliding on air currents? And what about the ones who sleep standing on one leg? Some birds sleep in groups, others all by themselves, and they sleep in nests, on branches, and on telephone lines, there's even a bird that makes its nest by sewing leaves together.
Interesting information, and well presented. Each bird is identified by Name, scientific name, and where it can be found, and is accompanied by a gorgeous illustration of the bird (or birds) asleep - on the waves, in its nest, or wherever, in beautiful shades of night. Includes an author's note with more information, including what sleep is. I can see some great class discussions following the sharing of How Birds Sleep. It would also make a fantastic bedtime story!
