As the title states, the Simmons tell us about several ocean dwellers and how they sleep. 

I wonder if the authors were going for a bedtime story feel to their book? The text is set in rhyming couplets, which does not work for me. As a book I want to use to engage young students - I don't want to put them to sleep, usually. I would love this material without the rhyming.
