It is all about how animals fall asleep, ordered from the ones that sleep least to the ones that sleep most. The book slows down exactly when your child does.Inside you will find- Wonderful animal parents, from the seahorse dad with a pocket to the meerkats who send their babies to school- Secret superpowers, like the frog that freezes solid all winter and hops away in spring- Animals far cleverer than you think, including a dog who learned the names of a thousand toys- Unlikely friendships, such as the badger and the coyote who hunt side by side- And finally, how animals fall asleep, from the giraffe who hardly sleeps at all to the dormouse who sleeps all winter longFor curious children aged 3 to 7, and for the grown-ups who read to them.Book One of the True Bedtime Stories series.
